all monsters and dust

it's not a choice for penguins either

Dan comments on this article, about a German zoo that imported some gay Swedish penguins and is trying to break up the same sex partnerships and convert the penguins to straightness:
[The director of the zoo] said that the birds had been mating for years and one couple even adopted a stone that they protected like an egg.
Didn't this break your heart just a little? I think I'll expand on the concept when I pitch the upcoming children's book Heather the Zoo Stone has Two Penguin Mommies. Does it call one "Mom" and the other one "Mommy"? In either case...sssssssh, the baby penguin rock is sleeeeeping!

Awww, I love penguins. And also, ha! Also also, I don't get it. Are they hoping the penguins are bisexual and promiscuous? I don't like that the zoo has no qualms about being a penguin-homewrecker.

"The mind of the thoroughly well informed [person] is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, and everything priced above its proper value."
