And the birthday of the man who taught me how to cause chaos on a grand scale. There should be parades of Penguins and "Legitimate Businessmen's Associations" from one end of the Hemisphere to the other.

R.I.P. Uncle Red, I'd have never learned statistics, probability, and how to balance the books if it hadn't been for you. Or proper phone etiquette, talking in code, outting rats, or how to kneecap a welcher with a ballpeen hammer, standing still or fleeing. They don't teach you those things in Boy Scouts.

The important bits;


How to Celebrate?

    Learn more about these majestic birds and their habitat and try to understand how human activity may be affecting them.
    If your local zoo has penguins, why not take a trip there to spend some time observing them?
    Watch movies with penguin characters and documentaries about the lives and habitats of penguins.

Did You Know…

…that the fastest penguins – the Gentoo – can swim at the speed of 22 miles or 35 kilometers an hour?

I triple dog dare that Californicator, Fansome, to race one of those Gentoo's in the Santa Barbara Channel. Be there or be square, Al.

You've got the home channel advantage. Skeert?
