Puns
I wasn't originally going to get a brain transplant, but then I changed my mind.
I'd tell you a chemistry joke but I know I wouldn't get a reaction.
Have you ever tried to eat a clock? It's very time consuming.
A friend of mine tried to annoy me with bird puns, but I soon realized that toucan play at that game.
Englewood, Colorado History
Thomas Skerritt in 1860 established a home in the area south of Denver City. He is considered the founder of the city which he named Orchard Place. Four years later Skerritt used his plow to construct the first road connecting Orchard Place to Denver.
In 1883 a man named Thomas Dunn built a small feed store on, what is now, the corner of Quincy and Broadway. Across the way a land developer, James Cherry, bought a quarter section of land and began calling the area, and feed store, Cherrelyn. presumably in honor of a wife or daughter, In the year the Cherrelyn horse cart trolley track was laid. The Cherrelyn Horse Car took passengers from Broadway and Hampden up the hill to the shopping center at Cherrelyn (Broadway and Quincy).
The trolley was pulled by one of five horses, Quickstep, Frederick, Curley, Dobbin, and Old Dick, who took turns at the task. The trolley would make several stops along the way up the hill for passengers and upon arrival at the top the horse was disconnected then backed up a ramp and placed onto the trolley. When the shoppers were ready to return home, they would climb aboard the trolley and the conductor would give them and the horse a push. Gravity did the rest as passengers were whisked back down the hill to Broadway and Hampden. It is said that the trip took 15 minutes to get to the top and only 3 minutes to return back to the bottom.

Eventually,(1903) the necessity of a police force to control the area was undeniable The community voted to combine Orchard Place, Cherrelyn, and the area south of Yale and east of the railroads into a single city. They called the city Englewood, which meant "wooded nook."
Dinosaur Bones Discovered
Bones of a 66-million-year-old adult triceratops have been uncovered in a building construction site in the town of Thornton, Colorado. This is an unusual discovery because the triceratops skull is in tact, which is rare. Thornton is a suburb north of Denver.
Joe Sertich, dinosaur curator at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science,said in a live Facebook interview, "The bones found in Thornton also appear to be disaggregated, So this triceratops," he surmised,"may have died and lain on the ground for a few days or weeks."
"They knew what they found the moment they hit it,” Seritich said. “They stopped what they were doing, they recognized it as a significant and really important fossil. And they called the right people.” Sertich has praised the construction crew that made the find. Too often, it's unclear to the untrained eye the magnitude of what's been found, so workers just carry on with the task at hand, destroying or building over important history in the process.
Eventually, the property will house a new facility for Thornton's police and fire departments. "It appears to be a comprehensive find, " said Todd Barnes, Thornton's communications director. It is hoped most if not all of the dinosaur's full skeleton will be recovered. Already, the dinosaur's horns and its shoulder bones have been located
It makes our lifespan seem insignificant to be standing on the same ground that dinosaurs called home
