flying penguins, who knew?
“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. – J Robert Oppenheimer. |

RE: flying penguins, who knew?
 There again, it has been known about for a long time now. (That you can make penguins apparently look to be flying) ![[Image: npenguinsflying.jpg]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g43/DerekJohn_photos/npenguinsflying.jpg) Ain't editing software amazing nowadays. ![[Image: OS-3.jpg]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g43/DerekJohn_photos/Oh%20Sh/OS-3.jpg)
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken. The hobgoblins have to be imaginary so that "they" can offer their solutions, not THE solutions. |

RE: flying penguins, who knew?
Wait - you mean the BBC is showing something that is not true?!
I'm shocked. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant! |
