AI made me chuckle

 Asked AI:  could one use marplot and cameo data manager to map and manage their cemetery?

 

Response: Technically, yes—you could use MARPLOT and CAMEO Data Manager to map and manage a cemetery, but it’s a bit like using a firetruck to water your garden 🌱🚒.

Fun Discovery for the Day

 I never realized that there was a cat in the Peanuts comic.  His name is World War II.

 

"World War II, also known as "The Cat Next Door", is an unseen cat character in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. The Cat Next Door is first mentioned in the strip from November 23, 1958 but is not given the name World War II until October 20, 1976.

He is an extremely vicious cat who terrorizes Snoopy and Woodstock. Whenever his rival, Snoopy, mocks him from across the yard, the cat slashes Snoopy's doghouse, or sometimes, Snoopy himself… Charlie Brown usually ends up having to buy another doghouse as a result."
