Query I wonder whether in MA, it is legal to pick fruit from trees that overhang the public domain.

Random bizarreness: exploding knitting needles (one end of a circular needle: I suppose that should that be "exploding knitting needle" singular...)

Some hysterically funny graphs, none of which will ever be featured in a math textbook.
