Adorable Penguin Technology

So, there was a poor penguin named Pierre
Who found that he was losing his hair

So a wet suit was made
So he could leave the arcade
And fish for quarters in the cool arctic water!

Shit. That sucks. Anyway, that's the story. This penguin was losing his feathers. Unlike mammals, penguins have no blubber to insulate against the cold. They rely on their waterproof feathers to keep the icy water out. So some people made him a wet suit. Now all his feathers are returning and he's being weaned off the wet suit.

Hooray for science!

And on a related note, they've discovered the remains of Human Sized Peruvian Penguins. If it turns out they ate flesh, I'll have something new to add to my nightmares.

"¡No! ¡Andalé! ¡Los pingüinos horrificos vienen del mar!"

And that would be the story of the death of the Peruvians. For surely no one could withstand the fury of the Mighty Penguin (Pingüino Temible).

Method, That Scientific One

Sometimes I wish I was more into Science. Bascially I'm looking for some sort of motivation to make my exercise more consistent. But being into Science I might be more interested in the subtle effects changes in diet have or how modifying my exercise routine changes my metabolism. Noticeable effects on mood, energy, attention etc.

Instead I don't really pay all that much attention to it. And I don't care to.

Or something.

Right now the only motivation is the little steps I see. There are some, but it's never very much. Not greatly encouraging. I am keeping at it, though. I do know that this sorta stuff takes time. But being consistent, lame.
