I've just clicked on cathpot's MATTER picture, and discovered it has another line at the bottom!

Can someone explain the Oct31=dec25 to me. My engineer husband doesn't get it either!

A Christian missionary converted a group of snakes. He came back several weeks later to see how they were getting on, and found that they were busy chopping down trees.

"What are you doing?" he asked. "Well," replied a snake "you told us to go forth and multiply, but we're adders, so we're building log tables."

Making a story up to a group of kids, their parents listening. Basically loads of animals and a kind elephant came to help out with a problem and on the spot I cleverly called him "Ben the Elephant...Benepholent". Looked at the parents and smiled as if to say "witty or what?". Only witty or smart joke I've ever made and it went over their heads.
