Wheatley Laboratories discussion

Pretty self explanatory. Someone posts a word and then soemone else posts a rod that starts with the same word the previous one ended with, like so:

"Rat"
"Tribble"
"Excite"
"Elephant"
"Tetrahedron"

You get bonus points if it's a fancy pretty word like tetrahedron.

I shall start.
