Welcome to the "Blog" in Games & Blogs! This blog is a place to post things that you find are funny and think others would enjoy. These could be quotes, jokes, pictures, memes, parodies, etc.
A few ground rules:
1) Keep it clean and unoffensive; remember the forum rules.
2) If at all possible, please post directly to the forum rather than share a link to another site (by all means, include the source - just try to avoid someone having to leave the forum to view what you're sharing).
To start us off, a variation on a quote I first learned about in an engineering class - I think this might be the original, and it's attributed to Douglas Adams.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray.
Rose. Good one!

Don't get the idea that everything in this blog thread needs to be Narnia-themed or Lewis-related, but I couldn't pass up sharing this one.

Ohhh nooooo... I wonder what Bree would think of that title?!
"Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed."
(Prince Caspian)
I recently learned about King Gustav III of Sweden, who was so convinced that coffee was poison, he ordered an experiment with a pair of twin prisoners where one twin had to consume three pots of tea a day, and the other three pots of coffee. The king was twenty-five years old at the time the experiment began and convinced that the coffee-drinking twin would be dead within a few weeks. The twins ended up outliving him and the physicians monitoring the experiment, with both reaching their 80s, and the coffee-drinking twin living the longest of all.
I can just imagine the years going by and the king saying to the physicians, "This is going to be the year, guys! I can feel it!"
And as someone who drinks coffee every day and enjoys it, this really reminds me of the Monty Python sketch with the Spanish Inquisition and their torture devices such as the Cushions and the Comfy Chair.
Just remembered an utterly terrible joke I heard a few years ago...
What does C.S. Lewis keep in his wardrobe?
"Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed."

So, this joke came off a Penguin (the chocolate biscuit/cookie) wrapper, but I thought it was great.
What do you call 500 penguins in Trafalgar Square?

History trivia was made last Thursday, 10th December, 2020. A Piper Cherokee, a light plane, having engine trouble, decided to land on the newly graded & levelled main runway, ready for the tarmac to be laid, for the still-to-be completed Nancy Bird Walton Airport, at Badgery's Creek, in outer Sydney. Work stopped, mechanics were summoned, & photographs were taken. What a shame the plane wasn't a Virgin!

"They turned and saw the Lion himself, so bright and real and strong that everything else began at once to look pale and shadowy compared with him."
