That may be the most complicated pun I've ever seen.

I'm glad SOMEONE caught it.  I've kept that one in my pocket for years (and no, not the originator).  LOL!

They say that the lions at Trafalgar  Square get up and roar every time a virgin walks past.

In other words, it's a great place for a nap.

Same myth about the bronze terrapin at the Univ of Maryland quadrangle.  I read that they recently had to move it because so many women rubbed the head of it walking by that the features were becoming indistinct and needed to be recast slightly.  I'm not sure if that rubbing was a hope or a vague promissary note.

So, instead of playing pocket pool, you've been playing pocket pun, huh?

The pun also rises?

Soon we'll be able to have our cats and dogs at the same time, like CatDog:

I wonder how the experiment on foxes will turn out, once they've been bred for even more socialization with humans. It'll probably take quite a few more generations, and the raising of pups outside laboratories, to really find out.

QuoteThis week, we meet the very cute and very bizarre result of an almost 60-year-long experiment: they’re foxes that have been specially bred for their dog-like friendliness toward people. We do a little behavior research of our own, and discover what scientists continue to learn from the world’s most famous experiment in domestication. The fox experiment continues under the supervision of Lyudmila Trut at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics. Her book “How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog)”, co-authored by Lee Alan Dugatkin, details the history and science behind the experiment.

They're still probably not as smart as cats, though.
