THE PUZZLE CORNER: JUNE 7, 2025

 😎FUN FACT

King’s College in London, England is experimenting with growing replacement human teeth.

TRIVIA TIME⌚

What country is Turkey in?

WHO AM I?

Can you identify the person (real or fictitious) based upon the clue below?

Although it happened long after my passing, a sports team and their mascot have been named in my memory.

We’ll reveal all next weekend but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX📦 and discover the results from the May 31, 2025 Puzzle Corner.

NUMBER PLEASE

Get ready! We ask the question, but the answer is just a number.

How many US Presidents were also former military personnel?

Starting with George Washington, 35 of the 45 (although there are 47 to date, Grover Cleveland and Donald Trump served nonconsecutive terms) Presidents had prior military service, but none since George W. Bush. More details here.

TRIVIA TIME⌚

What does D-Day stand for?

It does not stand for anything. The 'D' is derived from the word 'day'. 'D-Day' means the day on which a military operation begins. The term 'D-Day' is still used for military operations, but to the general public it is generally used to refer to the Allied landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944 which eventually led to the end of World War 2 in Europe. 

SUNDAY FUNNIES: CATTY COMEDY (misc. jokes)

Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here! 

Koda Canine and I have been discussing our upcoming schedules.

June 15 we'll be teaming up for our annual FATHERS' DAY SALUTE and we'll finish out the month between his Weekend Pupdate and my Catty Celebrity Citings because we have FIVE Sundays to deal with.

But for now each of us is just going to "wing it" and tell jokes.

Ready?

Did you know that before Mount Rushmore was carved, the view was unpresidented?

Did you know that before the crowbar was invented, crows had to drink at home alone?

Our next door neighbor speaks to his garden plants.

That’s right. Jack and his beans talk.

What kind of tree wears mittens?🧤🧤

Palm Trees.🌴🌴

Beethoven was going deaf. They told him that he could never be involved in music, but did he listen?

Why were swear words invented if no one should be saying them in the first place?

I don't understand people who can't sleep.

I can do it anywhere with my eyes closed!😼

Whether you're a cat or a human, rolling out of bed in the morning is easy.

Getting up off the floor afterwards and actually doing something is a bit more difficult.

For those who have asked, I am not great at advice.

Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

And remember, there is no WE in cat treats!

So on that note♫, take care.

STAY SAFE!

Have a great week and please come back here next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—PDK.
