Did you hear about scientist who came up with a belief about thread, yarn, and cords?

It was called string theory.

All keyed up!

Word has it Ms. Franklin found out about Ben's French mistresses.
"Go fly a kite in a thunderstorm!", she screamed.

Wuhan Soup Surprise

Ingredients:
  • 1 liter water
  • 1 bat
  • 150 g pangolin meat
Kill the bat and strip the bat wings off it.
Pour the water into a bowl and then put the bat in and wait an hour.
Then slice the pangolin meat and put the slices into the bowl and wait another hour.
This soup is to be served cold.
Do not boil the soup as this tends to diminish the taste and lessen the surprising effect:

The soup may cause worldwide prepping.

Does the stack overflow on washing or not washing?

Anyone remember swingers and spouse swapping?

I was feeling sorry for those swingers in this period of social distancing; but Hey, Masks!
