A panda walked into a cafe. He ordered a sandwich, ate it, then pulled out a gun and shot the waiter. ’Why?’ groaned the injured man. The panda shrugged, tossed him a badly punctuated wildlife manual and walked out. And sure enough, when the waiter consulted the book, he found an explanation. ’Panda,’ ran the entry for his assailant. ’Large black and white mammal native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.’ We see signs in shops every day for "Banana’s" and even "Gateaux’s". Competition rules remind us: "The judges decision is final." Now, many pun

For three days in January 2007, the most-emailed article in The New York Times was "Appreciations: Mr. Noodle," an editorial noting the passing, at age 96, of billionaire Momofuku Ando, the inventor of instant ramen. The very existence of the noodle inventor came as a shock to many, but not to Andy Raskin, who had spent nearly three years trying to meet Ando. Why? To fix the problems that plagued his love life.
