Today my wife and I were at a concert at the Peace Center, the performing arts center in Greenville SC. It's named not after an ideal, but a prominent local family who donated much of the money to build it. Every time I go there I wonder if any of the men in the family were named Warren.

I once saw a similar cartoon in which the cat was accompanied by a "thought bubble" that read, "%#$&@ flat screen monitors!"

Unfortunately, there's no known way to tell one in less than exponential time.

Now was it or was it not? To tweet or not to tweet, that's the dump question. I like to think it was (an allusion).

A new family moved into my neighborhood recently, along the route that I always take on my daily walk. They put up a low wooden picket fence, about 18" (45cm) high, all around their front yard. Every time I walk by, their small white dog comes out and runs along the inside of the fence, yapping furiously at me. But even though it's almost as tall as the fence, it never comes out onto the road to chase me. Could it be because... white dogs can't jump?

And if they had one more leg, they would have 010 of them.
This is pretty arcane, but some C programmers and web developers might get this...
Hint: ##010 \ne 10##
