This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Con. Mother: "Let's name our daughter after a tree. What's that name people use from a tree that is strong, but bends under pressure so that it never breaks?"
Con. Father: "Oak?"
Con. Mother: "No, that one definitely breaks under pressure. Also, oak is dense. Do you want our daughter to be dense?"
Con. Father: "....Professor Oak?"
Con. Mother: "Oh... It may be inevitable that our daughter will be dense. Let's go with 'oak'."
