Smell Mail:

This archaic form of communication, reinvented multiple times throughout history and biology, is a predecessor of snail mail. It is generally employed in either simplex or half-duplex forms of broadcast transmission and is especially suitable for BCC (blind courtesy copy) bulk comunication. Despite homonymy, oftentimes smell mail does not smell male.

In privilege and presentation it is often zealously protected and misdirected communication is a major faux pas. Confer: "Don't touch my junk mail." and "Spam is not kosher."

Tyrannosaurus Rump:
Virtually a living fossil, much to the delight of cryptobiologists a unique specimen has been recognized on the campaign trail. Although attributes are hotly contested including dysplasia, dysmorphisms and thermal regulation, poor quality photographs from an escalator imply that nearly vestigial frontal features and awkward gait are counterbalanced by a prodigious annular posterior. (see: can annular)

Schadenfreude's Cat:

A gleeful retelling of The Lady or the Tiger but from the point of view of a feline protagonist. Originally suggested by a physicist, the story is unique in an indeterminate number of ways. Unlike The Lady or the Tiger's version that provided no answer at the end of the story, this retelling provides an answer at the end that is uniquely determined for each reading although peeking does ruin the story.

Schroeder's Dog:
Once upon a time, on a dark and stormy night, the regular sound of
Snoopy's baying at the moon was nowhere to be heard over the
dulcet tones of Schroeder's piano rendition of Moonlight Sonata.
Suddenly, Snoopy's tri-plane came hurtling out of the sky and crashed
into a pumpkin patch, splattering gourds indiscriminately. But on
inspection, the crushed plane was found to be pilotless. WHere oh
where was Snoopy? Was he alive or dead? After additional
observation and discussion, it was determined he was both. And neither.
(Boy, is Quantum Theory silly, or is it just me...)
