penguin notes

courtesy of mrcairo: did you know that it was Penguin Awareness Day two days ago? i bet you didn't! and, in case you missed it and somehow managed to not spend the day in a tux wearing funny plumage and doing little penguin-dances, April 25th is World Penguin Day.

and in other news, the cheese crackers in the Berkeley Bowl bulk-food section come in many fascinating marine-related shapes: frogs, crabs, dolphins (or perhaps porpoises), starfish, little blobby things that might be turtles, little blobby things that might be shells, and of course...penguins!

penguins are the new monkeys.
