Anne, Queen of Great Britain

Anne (6 February 1665 – 1 August 1714 was Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 8 March 1702, and Queen of Great Britain and Ireland following the ratification of the Acts of Union 1707 merging the kingdoms of England and Scotland, until her death in 1714.

Anne was born during the reign of her uncle King Charles II. Her father was Charles's younger brother and heir presumptive, James, whose suspected Roman Catholicism was unpopular in England. On Charles's instructions, Anne and her elder sister Mary were raised as Anglicans. Mary married her Dutch Protestant cousin, William III of Orange, in 1677, and Anne married Prince George of Denmark, a Lutheran, in 1683. On Charles's death in 1685, James succeeded to the throne, but three years later he was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Mary and William became joint monarchs. Although the sisters had been close, disagreements over Anne's finances, status, and choice of acquaintances arose shortly after Mary's accession and they became estranged. William and Mary had no children. After Mary's death in 1694, William reigned alone until his own death in 1702, when Anne succeeded him.

Silly Jokes about Bugs

By Michael Dahl

I’ve been on a quest to read as many pun books as possible and this is one of my favorites.

For example, what do you call a bee’s butt?

It’s bee-hind.

*accompanying visual of bee curling on it’s back going “woohoo! It is!”

Which if that isn’t the cutest thing ever, idk what is.

.

Later on though Dahl is making puns that I can imagine characters like Papyrus losing their shit over.

.

Sans: oh, this is a good one

Papyrus: let me see!

*tries to grab book but Sans pulls away*

Sans: what’s the biggest kind of moth?

Papyrus, who is a dictionary of animal facts: That’s easy! It’s the—

Sans: a mam-moth

Papyrus: LIES! A mammoth doesn’t even have an exoskeleton! Gimme that!

*papyrus and sans wrestle to get the book*

Sans: what’sthebiggestkindofelephant?

Papyrus: NOOOOOO!

Sans: AN-ELEPH-ANT—ack! UNCLE!

*once Papyrus gets Sans in a headlock*

.

XD it would be too fun to watch unfold.
