Classic comic 250 - Snopes

To tales of beasts eating spelunkers,
The way everyone copes
Is to check it on Snopes—
But who will debunk the debunkers?

That don't orbit our sun
And their number is, well, astronomical.

Comic 1070 - Words for Small Sets

A few means between two and five;
Several's between two and five;
A handful can be
Two, five, four or, er, three
But a couple's two. (Or up to five.)

Comic 1066 - Laundry

Whether frat-boy, footballer or swot,
Your laundry will soon go to pot.
One day you stop folding,
The next, clothes a-moulding
All over the floor in the grot.
