2006 Puns

... and now Pluto.

I guess it never took off.

This actually came out of a conversation I had. Source: http://news.mit.edu/2006/microengines

Mike Rowe on meeting Robin Williams the first time:

The first was in 2006 - June or maybe July. I walked into The Roastery down on Chestnut, ordered a coffee, and sat down to read the paper. I soon discovered I was in one of those chairs with one leg shorter than the rest, and resolved to remedy the problem by jamming a folded-up coaster under the offending limb. I bent down, got the thing positioned properly, and managed to smack my head on the edge of the table on the way back up. Hard. The impact was noisy, and sent coffee slushing all over The Chronicle, which in turn lead to an “Ahh...shit!,” a little louder than I intended. A second later, a voice said, “No, I believe that’s coffee. Shit’s the stuff I see you crawling through every time I turn on the TV.”

Just discovered this subreddit and I had to share:

My dad and I were both sick during the fall (fall of 2006 or so, with the flu) and were watching TV, discussing our sickness.

I said "Well its fall, its full of grounded leaves, sickness, and misery."

Dad: "Grounded leaves? That's not what they're called."

Me: "Huh? They're just leaves on the ground."

Dad: "There's a name for it. Don't you know what they call leaves in the fall?"

Me: "I guess not..."

Dad: "FALLING LEAVES!"

He then proceeds to laugh hysterically, slapping his knees, and scaring the crap out of my poor parakeet.
