Why are vineyards planted on hillsides? Because it's hard to grow grapes on the plain.

I'm obsessed with French pancakes. I've got crepes on the brain.

What do you get when you pour Special K on a pompous magician? Flakes on a Blaine.

I once set a serpent on fire. Flames on a snake.

The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain.

BOOOO! Also, let me try.

I leave my lawn tools outside no matter what the weather. That's right, I leave rakes in the rain.

I once took the glass out of my window and let ducks walk over it. Drakes on a pane.

What do you get when you take all your art reprints and put them in your sink? Fakes on a drain.

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.)

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...

Naah, that was Richard Harris.

He's numb!
He shakes!
He quails! He quakes!


Snakes in the rain?

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?

That was very clever, Zeke. Not your fault you work with uneducated Philistines.

I answered a question wrong, so I had a mistake on the brain.

I would argue the five-in-a-straight-line should be called the n-pentomino, since it looks like n-pentane.

Part of me wants to say that you all suck, but then another part wants to say that if only Sir Francis had had a seafaring relative accompany him in the 1560s to the Carribean, then they would have been Drakes on the Main.



I hate myself so much right now.
