Hug

I discovered this as I was going cleaning up images on my computer. I don't remember where I originally found it. If anyone knows the source, I will happily credit them (although, the image does lead me to believe is was probably here).

rennyba: I agree, but some people are not huggers.

true. some people will hug anyone they come across and others are rather reserved when it comes to hugging.

i've known some people that are a little too creepy with the hugs. for whatever reason, this hug cartoon made me think of that! :)

that's a hug that suffocates :S
i like sincere hugs, i believe you can tell a person's intention by the way he/she hugs you.

Hmmn.... that woman seems to be screaming for help while the man is enjoying it. :P

I'm not a hugger, except for someone very, very, special. :D

breal: I am not a hugger, but my mom was. She always hugged people when greeting them.

coffee fairy: ah, but what if they don't hug you, can you still tell their intentions?

bee: I am like you, but even so, I found the cartoon amusing. Maybe I need to get a hobby.

[19September-2007 @ 17:11 EST: Revised preamble. This page still gets the most search hits: There is no Anthony de Croud. The e-mail is SPAM. I post things that pique my fancy at the moment.

Chicken Menses

A friend of mine is an ovo-lactic vegetarian. This means that in addition to the plant matter he consumes, he also consumes dairy products and eggs. Dairy products I can accept, but eggs? … hmm, I wasn’t so sure - it sounds a bit like those vegetarians who say they eat chicken and fish. After all, the egg is an animal product. His answer was simple and satisfying, "Eggs are chicken menses. The hen will produce an egg whether she is fertilized or not. Unfertilized eggs are the discarded products of ovulation akin to menses in mammals." Image grabbed from here .

Discovered over the weekend that le pingouin is not a penguin, but a type of auk known as a Razorbill . The French translation for penguin is manchot . Apparently, this is a common error. Not surprising since many languages clearly have some sort of agreement on penguin: pingüinos (Spanish), pinguine (German), pikkewyn (Afrikaans), pinguino (Italian), pingwiny (Polish), pingvinfélék (Hungarian), pingüim (Portugese). Images nabbed from here and here .
