New on blogjam: I made a thing. I like to think of it as a valuable teaching aid. It’s all about animals. I hope you are both educated and entertained by its bestial magnificence.
As all penguins come from the southern hemisphere, do northern hemisphere-dwelling penguins get all confused when they see the water in the toilet going down the wrong way?
There could be a PhD in this…
By Scaryduck on 11 May 2004 at 8:29 am
Strangely enough, the hemisphere water direction thing is nonsense, which I didn’t realize until quite recently. I suspect that penguins are far less gullable.
Since we’re wearing anoraks this morning, i notice that the “Xantus” picture isn’t of a Xantus Hummingbird, it’s a Xantus Murrelet - a small black and white seabird a bit like a tiny penguin. Of course you knew this anyway, hence you just stated “Xantus”. here’s a baby Xantus’s Murrelet which can’t fly at all, farless backwards.
I’m not convinced by your link Fraser. The guardian’s notes & queries did a thing about it some years ago and it aroused much controversy, with several alleging a global conspiracy by the sink manufacturers. The issue is not a simple one.

So when the 2 snake heads fight over food, does one snake head die or something? How the hell did you ever hear of this and when are there ever two-headed snakes?? I thought that was supposed to be informative!
Oh THOSE two-headed snakes! I hit those damn things in the road everyday while I’m driving to work. Okay well sorry I read Cosmopolitan instead of National Geographic.
Personally, I don’t read anything whilst driving to work, particularly the Daily Sport where the pictures distract me and cause me to drive over pedestrians and penguins.

l am a 19 yeras old young boy from Nigeria with the dream and aspiration to further my football carrier in
alaysia.l am 6ft 0, weighing 65. l have in the past played in several local amatur footballs in Nigeria, even in the famous all colleges of Education game in Anambra State. l can play as a offensive midfielder, right winger and even as an attacher. Infact, l am a utility player good with both legs and l would say my best quality is the ability to distribute the ball all over the pitch. Whether it be spreading the pitch wide, putting a ball through, putting a ball over the top, or playing a simple one-two with a teammate. I read the game very well and am looking for an oppurtunity to improve my game at a higher level. However, l will be in Malaysia with a Social Visa by next week or thereabout and it is my hope to fine an ambitious club to further my carrer.l can be contacted throiugh the above e-mail or anaelom@myway.com and kinghoteph@yahoo.com respectively.
