Richard Feynman on understanding Quantum theory:

Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possible avoid it, "But how can it be like that?" because you will get 'down the drain', into a blind alley from which nobody has escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that.

One of his students didn't take his advice...

The city's favorite rat exterminator, know only as 'Ratman', has been missing for several months now...the only clue found so far is this trademark glove ominously clinging to the grate of one of the entrances to his favorite hunting ground, the East side slough...It is feared that Ratman may have perished in an epic fight to the finish with the underground hoard of followers of the king rat, known as Rattus Muroidea......Ratman's biographer says he fears the worst and plans to release his book when the final chapter is known for sure....or next week, whichever comes first....

Ratman Gloves included with every copy sold....

I see humor just in that picture of a matching glove.

cant wait till a 'caption this' of a foot print in the mud from a shoe where not only you show a picture of the sneaker that made the foot print, you'll also state the he came in as a rider on a horse with a limp.

Flushing repeatedly and using a large toilet plunger hasn't worked. A sewer vac truck is definitely needed in Washington DC.

(I'm assuming that the pic of the catch basin was taken in front of the White Mosque at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.)

that's what happens when your agenda is based on symbolism with no substance and spin. i.e. not enough fiber in their diet in Washington.

Stubby, the thin-clown, whose right middle finger has been missing from a childhood incident (he offered a kind gesture to a liberal that declined the offer), had been last seen near the storm drain near 149th and Racine. This week Officer Delaney of Peoria found this unique glove off Interstate 74 in the manhole cover to the storm drain. This location is over 166 miles from downtown Chicago.

These are the only two storm drains in Illinois, otherwise the State would never flood.

Apparently, Stubby slipped through the cracks (well, actually slits, but who is being picky?)...

Ha ha! I didn't notice the middle finger was missing. I took the photo after passing this several times and thought it was interesting. I posted it here because I was at a loss for coming up with a clever caption so I thought I would get some help.

So you are saying our victim (what remains of them, a glove), was not eaten by a clown? Not eaten by a squirrel? A chipmonk???? Must be Trappist Catholic version of rodent I have never seen in West Texas. Down here we have squirrels, bosses, and ground squirrels. No chipmunks, or chipmonks.

OH well, back to chasing ghosts on my RO system.

What - no chip monks? Do you have fish friars?

Forced me into that dumb joke.

Up here the chipmunks (not chip monks) run rampant. I have at least 2 living in my crawl space under the kitchen, despite having 2 cats and allowing them access to the crawl space. They bring me moles, voles and mice, several per week, but no darn chipmunks.
