Oh wow. That's... wow. That's why I'm convinced there's a reason to love humanity, right there. Beyond the heartwarming compassion of it, it's just so ludicrously funny. Man. I may have to print out a picture of that and carry it in my wallet.
I know. Don't you love the part where instead of just using any old scraps of wool yarn, everyone knitted the sweaters like they were for their grand kids? Cause, those penguins are gonna grow up and start cheering for world cup teams.
You know, I was sitting around last night wondering what to do. And then it came to me. Crochet wool sweaters for penguins.
Lo and behold, you send me this link. Coincidence? I think not. It's a calling sent from above. Kind of like entering a convent or the priesthood. But this must have been sent by the god of the non-flying birds coalition :) I think it's because he (the aforementioned non-aerial god) had troubles with the dodos and finally realized he has to recoup his reputation with the other bird gods.
Not that the other bird gods are really held in high esteem, though. The mid-sized flying pigeon god had a major setback with the American passenger pigeon and the major birds-of-prey kill-little-animals gods have had some real issues with DDT.
Then there's the Pasadena parrot god. He seems to be doing well and growing in power every day. And of course the ubiquitous sparrow god. I'm sure there used to be a god for every type of sparrow (some 15,000,000 of them), but since all the species look exactly alike, I think the gods finally realized it was too much trouble to determine exactly who worshipped who, and simply merged to end further confusion. Anyway, he's doing well.
If only the pretty-little-colored-nicely-singing-songbird god could regain a foothold in the Los Angeles area...
