Researchers have finally solved the mystery of why certain penguins die an early death,
even when food is plentiful, environmental conditions are optimal and natural predators are few.
This has been an enigma that has puzzled researchers for years,
especially since early death usually occurs in young penguins who are in perfect health.
Scientists set up hidden cameras around penguin colonies in an effort to determine the cause,
and what they found was quite astonishing.

Buahahahaha! That's hilarious!!
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing left in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' ...you'll be a Man, my son!

That would have been funnier had it not been for the fact that polar bears live in the north pole while penguins live in the south. The largest land animal in the south pole is only half an inch long.

Bwa ha ha ha! That's fabulous!
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

^_______^ Lol!!!
[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

I had in fact found a use for this picture today. During my off hour I had printed some papers for a college I am applying to at the computer lab. There also evidently was my one of my friends who is a slacker (evidently fond of ditching the first 20 minutes of gym on a consistent basis). At any rate, at one point he had majorly jacked up the volume on the computer with headphones (meaning that it would be much louder when the headphones got unplugged). Upon mischievously asking me how I thought the teacher would probably react, I told him that it was better expressed in an image I found on the net, at which time I showed him this picture.

Now we know why Penguins are rarely seen during the Rose Bowl!

Laughter, agreement, and a hasty: "Of course, I'll be out of the room when that happens." Responded to with: "She'll know." I do not yet know what came out of all this, but it does have my curiousity.Syaoran wrote:How did he react to the picture? and I am glad that the pic got some good uses
