    Penguins under threat!

    He did a good acting job in "Farce of the Penguins" though. He played the one who smoked too much dope and didn't want to go to the breeding grounds.

    A Legitimate Concern for 2012?

    I saw an interesting piece of fiction at the theater this weekend named “Knowing.” Interestingly enough it depicted the end of days being climaxed with a sort of solar super-flare.

    That’s philosophy for ya!

    My definition of philosophy would be "Making the attempt to answer the really interesting questions." Perhaps it was best defined in Mel Brook’s History of the World when Comrcus applied for unemployment compensation and the attendant asked him, “What is your former line of work.” He answered...
