Link O'Day: Brainy Quote

Actually I wanted to make this my Link O'Day: http://www.care2.com/causes/animal-welfare/blog/meet-uncle-chi-chi-worlds-oldest-dog/

Yes, Uncle Chi-Chi is believed to be the oldest dog in the world. I thought it would be fun to be a little bit frivolous and feature that linkhttp://www.brainyquote.com/ but then thought that was maybe taking it too far. And a quotation came to mind...
"A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the best of men," Which I thought was an old Chinese proverb. So I did a search and instead found the quotation attributed to our old friend Roald Dahl. So I decided to share the site Brainy Quote. It is a great resource for looking up a quotation or for browsing for a quotation. Since one good way to start a student composition is with a quotation, teachers and students can find this site useful. You can browse by subject, by author, or by key words.
