The Japanese religion has fifteen gods, but two of them are duo gods.
That’s why haikus have five, seven, and five syllables.
Teller (of Penn &) is Mennonite, and this is why he does not speak on camera. He reviles modern technology and will not submit his voice to it as a matter of religious principle.

Good thing I don’t care for bananas.
That one’s been floating around for years, I doubt it’s original to you (or is that the made-up fun fact, that it’s yours?)
Huh! For some reason, I thought Cecil didn’t like vos Savant and loved to point out when she’s wrong. I know I’ve seen him bash her a few times in some of his columns.

Hey moderators are supposed to be humorless. Anyway, Marilyn was right on with the Monte Hall question. Even Paul Erdös somehow could never work it out.

Little Debbie, of Little Debbie snack cake fame, was, at one point, a rough, tough, but diminutive, motorcycle mama. But one year, as the biker gang she was part of, was preparing for a party, the caterer canceled at the last minute. Debbie volunteered that she could ‘bake a couple of cookies, or something’, and baked some goods that were total hits with the biker crowd. Eventually, the demand for her baked goods became so great that she stopped riding. She stayed in and baked snack cakes, and gained 92lbs. But because of her petite stature at the beginning of her biking career, she maintained the name “Little Debbie”.
I spun this story out of thin air for a friend of mine. Did it with a completely straight face.

She practically fell down laughing.
