Woah,  we had some really clever entries for the last WOD daffynition contest. 
I liked them all and was most inspired by Douglas�s entry:
 
The Pun Net is something similar to the Dark Net, a place where evil people 
go to plan and do evil things. In the case of the Pun Net it revolves around sad, 
humiliating, irritating, groan-instilling puns.
The "God" of this Pun Net is of course Piers Anthony.
Here is a short list of some of his literary transgressions:
Night Mare (about a horse)
Crewel Lies
Heaven Scent
Question Quest
Faun and Games
Up in a Heavel
 
All of the entries can be viewed here: http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=55832 
 
A punnet is actually a British word that is little known in the area where I live in the United States. 
As many of you know, it is "
a small light basket or other container for fruit or vegetables." Example:
 
"a punnet of strawberries"
 I  agree that Douglas� whip-round would have been a perfect WOD selection.  
I am looking forward to what you come up with, Douglas! 
Thaniks to all who participated!!

Even the Wall Street Journal has got in on the act:
