To show my solidarity with FieroRumor I'd like to inform everyone that penguins are particularly susceptible to malaria. Next time you visit the zoo, consider that the penguins you're looking at are on antimalarial medication. Even the ones inside.
No, but the squirells do. They keep their friends close, but their enemies closer. Except for bacon, which has no enemies. Just friends who want to eat it.

Caution should be used in approaching penguins on malaria medication -- there are many side effects to these medicatins:
" Proguanil (Paludrine) can cause nausea and simple mouth ulcers.
Chloroquine (Nivaquine or Avloclor) can cause nausea, temporary blurred vision and rashes.
Patients with a history of psychiatric disturbances (including depression) should not take mefloquine as it may precipitate these conditions. "
Put a mouse in a mouse trap to catch cheese Sell paper clips as earwax removers Mantids are cool! It is said that FieroRumor owns a pig with three legs. When asked what happened to the fourth leg, FR replied 'I can't eat a whole pig at once! Nick
(A more technical post from Rumor, or at least what it looks like to me
So today at work I had to REY a couple of GHN's. I'm on a Penguin 3.14159, running Duck 16.8. Oddly, when I went to snarfle the garthlack, it wouldn't gremble. Anybody seen this before?
Luckily I was able to download the latest Ducks, and tried to fargits the CDF. No luck, (the later Ducks are SO buggy) so I DGM'ed the furshulgginah. That helped, but the system was slow. To "grease the skids" so to speak, I used Bacon. It's okay now, but that's a longer process than necessary, and uses lots of Bacon resources. Is there a shortcut? Would Squirells do better? They normally don't get along with Penguins, and the Ducks just chase them around.
It's my own fault, I was on my Blackberry while on the bus.
Today was "irony day", and not in a fun way... it didn't involve an iron but it DID involve drained batteries. Mine and an APC's... No ducky activity was detected, but my day was needlessly chaotic nonetheless . Thankfully, the top didn't stop spinning all day long, so I know it was all a dream. Tomorrow is Wednesday, and must go deep undercover...

At least the giant radioactive mantid squirrel ducks didn't escape from the holding pen and wreak havoc on the world...

Unless you use the wet squirrel loophole.
