Don't skip breakfast! Start the day with some food for thought.


Words to keep
"In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." —Oscar Wilde (Lady Windermere's Fan)

Kyushu & Japan
Many archaeological finds have been made in Fukuoka, including one on the campus of Fukuoka Jo Gakuin. When workers started preparing the foundation for an addition to the Library in 2001, they unearthed some ancient burial jars. Construction work was halted for several months while archaeologists examined the site. Laying the dead to rest in burial jars was the custom thousands of years ago, during Japan's Jomon and Yayoi Periods.

Q:  What's a pun?
A:  A play on words in which one word has two or more meanings, or two different words have similar sounds. Shakespeare achieves profound effects with puns, as when a newly blind character says, "I see feelingly".
