All busy prompts / wait times should be supplemented with games of skill or trivia!

(I have Jolicloud on there now, I usually try 2-3 distros a month on it).

Anyway, Robyn has a pun-filled blog post about the F13 - code named “Goddard” – release slogan “Rock it!“. 

…

Yeah, I think that’s brilliant – so what! I like puns! I like Spider Robinson! STOP LOOKING AT ME!

So, in honor of the upcoming F13 release let me share with you one of my favorites:

As I’m sure you know, Mahatma Gandi was a very spiritual man with strong beliefs. And those beliefs lent themselves to some eccentric behavior: he would walk barefoot everywhere he went, which made his feet very rough; he ate a strange diet which not only made him a bit frail, but also had the unfortunate side effect of quite bad breath. Of course, you know what that made him….

A super-calloused fragile mystic vexed by halitosis.
