Aptenodytes patagonica

Not very accurate. Personally I feel I am more the

Bradypus torquatus type. But perhaps I am flattering myself.

I got the penguin.:

Now you see it, now you don't. Aggressive yet gentle, outgoing but shy, stable yet flighty - everyone sees the penguin in a different way. It's that black and white thing: the penguin only reveals the side that it wants you to see. So whether you like this darling-devil or not, you have to concede that it's a fascinating and enigmatic individual.

Penguins are birds condemned to live out their days on the ground. Unable to fly, their excess energy has no outlet save their creative talents and emotional outbursts. Penguins are poetic, artistic, and intellectually gifted, and as writers penguins have no equal.

But, if unable to channel their impulses in a positive way, the resulting turmoil proves damaging to their relationships and careers.

Penguins are deceptively intelligent and are particularly animated when intellectually challenged. They excel at word games and puzzles but are modest about their abilities and are generally underestimated by others.

With their misunderstood personality, penguins find writing an ideal tool for expressing their true feelings. They have a natural aptitude for languages and penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors, and journalists.

With a natural aptitude for languages, penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors and journalists. A strong sense of drama draws them to the theater and cinema, although unlike typical bird personalities they avoid the spotlight unless they're able to hide behind the characters they play. Once on stage however, they prove to be excellent performers with their multifaceted personalities conveying the full gamut of emotions.

However, a lack of confidence affects their work. Penguins tend to give up on tasks they were otherwise capable of and are often disappointed with their performance. Still, work never dominates their life and they always put their family first.

No. Beth Shakespear writes great trashy novels. She also wrote a kid's book about a baby shrew who dreamed she was a dormouse. You'd like it.

Had to come up with sumptin'. Too late to fix it now.

To 'e' or not to 'e' - that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the thread to edit
The slips and typos of outrageous fingers
Or take aim with witty repartee
And by outsnarking, deflect them...

What light through yonder browser window breaks? It is the internets, and fair Frau Kaleun is the sun. Too bad I have to minimize it so I can work on homework for a few minutes, rather than screwing around on subsim. Fate is a cruel mistress.

Find a copy of the movie version with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. It's shortened but has all the essentials. You'll laugh yourself silly, and find out where Monty Python got a lot of their ideas.

I showed it to a friend a couple of years ago. When it came to the 'wasp' sequence he said "Shakespeare actually wrote that?"

"Yep," says I, "five hundred years ago."
