Today I learned that you can say "Lumos" to a Google device to turn the lights on, and say "Nox" to turn them off. If it's a phone, you get the camera flash.

I seem to have been banned from commenting on the Guide Dogs adverts because of making a pun :/

(It had a picture of a blind kid with a cane being helped by a sighted kid, with the caption "Help a child like Nell". I said it looked like the other children liked her already.)

I like the idea.

But what if they put a hinge on the jaw, so that when you flushed, the eyes lit up and the jaw opened and it boomed "THANK YOU"?

I once went to an exhibition about polydactyly in cats.

It was at the National Paw Trait Gallery.

I found this epigram in a book from 1817. I think you could easily use the same joke in standup comedy today.

Miriam Margolyes explains how she became the voice of the Cadbury's bunny.

Your upper lip is growing hair.
There must be some mistake!
The weight will strain the muscles there;
I'm sure your face mustache.

How many numbers have names, in your language?

Like, in English we have pair, brace, dozen, score, gross.

2) He thinks puberty occurs earlier in cold countries than hot countries. He admits that people in Siberia reach puberty early, but that doesn't really count: they live indoors for half the year, so they probably see other people getting up to stuff, and that encourages them.

THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS

Egregious data interpretation failures I've found so far in Becklard's 1845 book "Physiological mysteries":

1) He thinks circumcision probably prevents masturbation, because he's looked through the list of people admitted to his local mental hospital for masturbation, and there aren't many Jews on it.

I keep seeing cat cafes. I want to see a capybara cafe. Big water feature inside, hang out with the capybaras, drink coffee, don't pet them.

[Maths joke]

Me: I found Thomas Bayes's tomb once

Joe Decker: Was it in… a priory?

Francis Grose, 1785:

"Is your father a glazier: a question asked of a lad or young man, who stands between the speaker and the candle, or fire. If it is answered in the negative, the rejoinder is— I wish he was, that he might make a window through your body, to enable us to see the fire or light."

I think this is now called throwing shade.

I just thought that the reason most of my software and musical work involves only me is that having other people involved generally involves money, and I have no particular expectation that the things I do will make money.
