Oh my!

Wordle Woes

Well, once again this marble statue of a puzzle expert has been caught with feet of clay.

Yes, today I came to a point where I had to pick one word from three similar words.  I did not pick the right word! Shame on me!

Unproductive Copulation

Scientists, worrying that gray squirrels are supplanting red squirrels in the UK, have developed a plan to cope with the problem. The horny creatures will be trapped and placed in cages where they will stuff themselves with Nutella laced with a squirrel contraceptive. 

DNA's gonna catch ya!

Clever Chinese detectives were able to catch a burglar who got bitten by a mosquito.  The burglar squashed the mosquito on the wall and that allowed the forensic team to get a DNA sample and test for a positive match in the "known bad guys" file.  

A Grouchy Puzzler's Tombstone Message

When a new tombstone was unveiled in a town in Iowa, the community was upset at the wording.  See if you can figure out why.

"Forever in our hearts until we meet again, cherished memories, known as our son, brother, father, papa, uncle, friend, and cousin."

Overdue Book Fines

A book was returned to a London Library.  It had been taken out in 1974 (48 years ago.) If enforced, the overdue fine would amount to $7,618.10.

I confessed some time ago to my sister-in-law, Janine, who has been a librarian, that I took out a book in 1958 (64 years ago!) I would return it, if I could find it, meanwhile, the New Bedford, Massachusetts Public Library should send me the bill for probably $16,000.

Enough of this!
