Mary Everest Boole is actually really cool. Her string art was actually a way to make math easier to teach – she was a fairly accomplished mathematician (as was her husband, George Boole), and contributed to the philosophy of education.
Also, her daughter was a successful writer and married the man who owned the Voynich manuscript, and her uncle was the man Mt Everest was named for. The whole family is kind of insanely cool.

If there was a photo of Nermal, Garfield would yank that out lickety-split.

Jon, a fan of Boolean logic? That seems pretty far-fetched to me. Then again, Mary had an interesting way of teaching mathematics.

Hey JPuzzleWhiz — obviously you’re NOT in the mood for “swinging” either, am I correct?

My wallet also has more photos than money.

I think it’s cute that people keep photos in their wallet whether it’s of their children or pets.
