Toonces is the name of a cat who drives an automobile on the "Saturday Night
Live" comedy show broadcast on NBC here in the US. The "Toonces, the driving
cat" episodes are pretty much cornball humor, but they have somewhat of a
cult following.

ObChemHumor> Here is a limmerick that I think was originally posted in
a Seattle newspaper and was posted here in this newsgroup some months ago, I'll
repost but I don't know who the original author was:

     A mosquito was heard to complain
     That a chemist had poisoned his brain
     The cause of his sorrow was para-dichloro-
     Diphenyltrichloroethane.
