Tweeter of the Month:
Kids Write Jokes
One of my favorite things in all the world is the masterful alternate logic used by very young kids when they write jokes. This twitter account compiles the best un-used kid jokes that are submitted to a joke website. They’re all real, and they’re all by kids. Some samples:
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
A robot
A robot who?
A scientific one!— Kids Write Jokes (@KidsWriteJokes) February 29, 2016

Tabletop Game of the Month:
Patchwork
Patchwork is a two-person-only board game wherein both players are trying to create their own quilt from a communal supply of differently-shaped quilt pieces. It’s kind of like Tetris in that you have to figure out how best to build your quilt so that future pieces will fit. But since you’re both working from the same pool, there is a surprising depth of strategy. One of the few games I know where it’s not uncommon to end with negative points, but still win!
