DC Metroland Weather Report

~ Today...Partly cloudy in the morning, then clear.

Making Z Zoup
A pinch of this...a dash of that...

In 435 B.C., the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras
suggested that the sun was not just a small glowing circle of light.
He maintained that it was a glowing rock
a hundred miles across.
For that outrageous statement, he was exiled from Athens.

The favorite horses of both Alexander the Great (Bucephalos)
and Julius Caesar both had atavistic mutations
— extra toes.
Horses normally have only one toe per foot,
but are descended from horses with three or four toes on each limb.

The islands of Bermuda have no rivers or lakes.
The inhabitants must use rain for water.

A donkey is an "ass", but an ass is not always a donkey.
The word "ass" refers to several hoofed mammals of the genus Equus, including the Onager

I've got to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!

Come in and sit for a while.

There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....
