Puns for Educated Minds
The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.
A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.
No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.
A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

Link to Lily the Pomeranian's (Lilypad's) Rescue Diary–*Updated Frequently*
Lily is a very sweet, 4 year old rescue Pomeranian.
She came to our home via the Pomeranian Club of Central Virginia on October 15 from a family in North Carolina that did not have experience with dogs, much less a headstrong, stubborn breed like to Pomeranian.
We have her on a 90 day schedule of weight management, socialization and behavior modification.
Our goal is to have her ready for a new home right after the New Year.
If you would like to follow Lily’s progress, you can read her regularly updated diary, by clicking here:

In a study published online May 30 in the journal Animal Cognition, University of London researchers found that dogs were more likely to approach a crying person than someone who was humming or talking, and that they normally responded to weeping with submissive behaviors. The results are what you might expect if dogs understand our pain, the researchers wrote, but it's not proof that they do.
