Nora, I'm not seeing anything, but sometimes hotmail is slow. If you didn't send it to the hotmail one (see profile addy) that means you're probably still using my old gis.net, which is dead and gone.

Yeah, I just resent, 'cause I did send to gis one first. But it should be there now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Giant, heat-loving penguins roamed Peru
Giant prehistoric penguins? In Peru? It sounds more like something out of Hollywood than science, but a researcher from North Carolina State University along with U.S., Peruvian and Argentine collaborators has shown that two heretofore undiscovered penguin species reached equatorial regions tens of millions of years earlier than expected and during a period when the earth was much warmer than it is now.
...
The first of the new species, Icadyptes salasi, stood 5 feet tall and lived about 36 million years ago. The second new species, Perudyptes devriesi, lived about 42 million years ago, was approximately the same size as a living King Penguin (2 ½ to 3 feet tall) and represents a very early part of penguin evolutionary history. Both of these species lived on the southern coast of Peru.
...
The new penguin specimens are among the most complete yet discovered that show us what early penguins looked like. Both new species had long narrow pointed beaks – now believed to be an ancestral beak shape for all penguins. Perudyptes devriesi has a slightly longer beak than seen in some living penguins but the giant Icadyptes salasi exhibits a grossly elongated beak with features not known in any extinct or living species. This species’ beak is sharply pointed, almost spear-like in appearance, and its neck is robustly built with strong muscle attachment sites. Icadyptes salasi is among the largest species of penguin yet described.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Allyson, that's terribly cool, and real.
Fred--much calm to you and your Hubs right now.

Fred, I'm so sorry for all of you.

Those giant penguins sound really cool.

They've been covering the Benoit family thing heavily here, because it's local. The statement from the district attorney that details of the deaths "are going to prove a little bizarre" is, well, bizarre.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I heard he had killed his wife on Saturday, killed his son on Sunday, and called into WWE to cancel an appearance. Then killed himself? Which is bizarre and pretty troubling.
