Oh, this I need to get in on.
If you sing the main part of a song a few times in different ways, you get different takes on a refrain. If Riker ruled the universe? We could say that Frakes has a reign. When a car stops on glass, you get brakes on a pane.

...Why'd I even say it? ^^;
All of you with these puns are breaking my brain. (No pun at all in that statement. Nope. You can stop looking, now.)

If this continues, I shall have to ask someone to check the angular vector of the moon!

There's that bizarre Donna Summer song about cakes in the rain...
We often have floods in the city because the plumbing is old, and get breaks in the main. California has quakes of its terrain. How do you kill a vampire? Stakes in the brain. New Orleans was swamped by the wakes of a 'caine...

I can top all of this. During the second math camp, I brought up the topic of pentominoes. One question we looked at was whether a given pentomino is capable of tiling the plane -- i.e. forming an infinite, regular tesselation. Some cases are easy to check, such as the pentomino which is just five squares in a row. The more complicated pentominoes take some thought. In particular, I suggested that they try the S pentomino:
 (This is also called the N pentomino; I prefer S.) But you have to be careful, I warned them. After all, it's sort of a snake. And there are few things more dangerous than SNAKES ON A PLANE. And they didn't get it! Yeesh. What are we teaching kids these days?
