Sunday Funnies – LOLs – October 25, 2026

David Montgomery sends in this pair of chiasmuses? chaismi? chiasmae? Both are from October 18.

I went to Merriam-Webster online to look up the plural, but they don’t provide one; nor does the M-W Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition. The example given online of the use of chiasmus cleverly avoids committing to a particular plural:

The word comes from Greek, so chiasmae would be confusing a Greek root and a Latin plural form, but stranger things have occurred in English. I think Sam Bray had it right: find a way to duck the issue.

File this under “conversations that seldom actually occur” — which is, of course, the joke.

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – September 6, 2026

Mitch4 sends this in: “Well, the caption “Goldilocks and the Three Musketeers” is explicitly given. But not printed out for us, left for us to figure out, is that their hair fits her established pattern of “Too much, too little, just right”.”

The Trolley Problem continues to give humor:

“Luckily, the A.I. trolley will decide who to kill all on its own.”

Boise Ed notes: “Okay, so the deer isn’t going to be doing the driving, but it still made me laugh.”
