US President Donald Trumps told a July 4th celebration that American revolutionary troops ‘took over airports’ in the 1700s
Before crossing the Delaware
You must have control of the air
And so Trump reports
That seizing airports
Was Washington’s style of warfare

Some boffins have made an appeal:
Please stop saying that plants can feel
While it’s a nice thought

Cerula (above) was a bishop in the fifth century before women were airbrushed from Christianity’s lead roles

With no paddle, just one massive turd

You will hesitate
To taste what’s on your plate
Once you have a quick look and a smell

Paris, France is expected to be hotter than the Sahara Desert this week

Then rise a bit more
And all you can feel is the heat

A Japan zoo uses a man in furry suit during an ‘escaped lion drill’
Do you think you’d know what to do
If a lion escaped from a zoo?
The Japanese will
As they’ve just had a drill
Which was a strange process to view
