When the scientific community started using zebrafish (rather than zebra fish) for the research animal, one of the arguments was made that "zebrafish" was a better choice because it saved on a space character.

I have noticed a tendency now for people who communicate in text, to talk like a machine gun or teletype, without spaces between words. At some point, they will need to breathe.

I think crosswords will be our saving grace. They require words be in the dictionary, and be of sensible length.

Here's a true story, rather than a lame joke, although it could be both.

I know this Welshman that regularly wore around his favorite T-Shirt that said, "Whale Oil Beef Hooked."

(A couple of my favorite jokes came from him.)

I first heard this phrase coming out of my (straightlaced, prudish) father's mouth at family dinner while my (even more straightlaced, prudish) mother's eyes shot poisoned-dagger looks at him. Traumatized us all.
