- Toonces is the name of a cat who drives an automobile on the "Saturday Night
- Live" comedy show broadcast on NBC here in the US. The "Toonces, the driving
- cat" episodes are pretty much cornball humor, but they have somewhat of a
- cult following.

- ObChemHumor> Here is a limmerick that I think was originally posted in
- a Seattle newspaper and was posted here in this newsgroup some months ago, I'll
- repost but I don't know who the original author was:
-
- A mosquito was heard to complain
- That a chemist had poisoned his brain
- The cause of his sorrow was para-dichloro-
- Diphenyltrichloroethane.
