Show us your favorite philosophical quote.

Australians will have seen this numerous times already. Everyone else, it is pretty funny. It turned out later that "Clare the Bogan" (as she has been dubbed by the media) made the whole thing up. The guy who really did get shot is not impressed at all.
The new philosophical quote on everyone's lips at the moment is "Chk chk boom!".
Share a song for Sunday morning.
Really more of a Monday song. My excuse is that it is already well into Monday in Australia. Isn't Stevie Wright gorgeous?
Show us a picture of your mother.
This is a recent picture that my son drew of my mother (his Granny).
Here is what she really looks like.
Share a book that made you laugh.
This book is not meant to be humourous but I did have a bit of a chuckle reading this little passage on the first page of Enid Blyton's Adventurous Four Again, in which the children reflect on their jolly adventures of the previous Summer:
The children, with their friend Andy, had indeed had some thrilling adventures. They had gone out in Andy's father's fishing-boat one day, and had been caught by a storm. They had been swept miles out of their course on to a lonely island - and had found a nest of enemy submarines in the water there, hdiing to pounce on any ships that came within their reach.
And from the next page:
"I was frightened sometimes - but it all ended happily."
"Except for those hidden enemy submarines!" said Tom. "They didn't have a very happy ending. Look - there's Mother!".
The children in question are 10 and 12 at the time of this "adventure" which had occurred after they were permitted by their parents to go out on a three day trip on the high seas - during a World War! My husband won't even let our 10 year old daughter walk to the milk bar three blocks away on her own. I really can't see her sailing the seas looking for enemy submarines any time soon either. I love reading about this kind of stuff though. No wonder Blyton's adventure books are so appealing to children. Modern children can just fantasise about having so much freedom, even if it does sometimes result in being kept prisoner on a deserted island by enemy powers.

It's National Puppy Day! Show us the cutest puppy you can find.
My apologies for again recycling photos but if Vox must recycle questions ....
That is me in the photo, by the way. The puppy is Sandy, who went on to live to the ripe old age of 18 years.
Show us your favorite cereal.
I consider this more a dessert than a breakfast food. We don't have it in the house anymore though (sadly).
Today is Peanut Butter Lover's Day. Show us something that is good with peanut butter.
Well, obviously other people think so too or it wouldn't have its own iStock photo:
