Lady Blue – Thanksgiving Etiquette

Thanksgiving Etiquette
by Blue Potato

Cranberry wine
Is quite fine
When I dine
On smoshed bloopids with quince

But don’t cross the line
If you feel inclined
To share that wine
With a Dromedary prince

For an undulate mammal
Show manners for the camel
For you may trammel
An animal’s freedom if you ask them to rinse

I must say
Having had a camel over for a day
You may want to pray
He doesn’t turn your garden to mince

So for your Thanksgiving feast
You can invite the geese
And the farm animals, at least
But you may think twice
about inviting the mice.

Brain (by John Musico)

What Does a Brain Feel Like?
By John Musico

In formaldehyde, a brain is rubbery, but its normal consistency is more like Jello. Why then, when you smack your head; “I coulda had a V8”- don’t you get immediate significant brain damage? The answer lays in an ingenious design…
Your brain is floating in fluid inside your skull. Your brain is hollow which is also filled with fluid.
Much like a raft in a pool on a cruise ship; when the ship (analogous to your head) leans one way in the ocean; the water in the swimming pool tilts the other, such that the raft (your brain) remains motionless.
