My impression was that the females can only store enough food for their own chick. But I could be wrong.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. A lot of the eggs didn't hatch, and a lot of other chicks died, so there must be some adult females that came back to no baby. There were also, presumably, chicks whose mothers died. I thought these got "paired" up. I could be wrong though.
I need to go watch Winged Migration, or see if I can buy the Life of birds on Ebay, I think.

Oh, right, I didn't think of that.
Probably just melodramatic voiceover, then.
Life in the Freezer has more penguins than Life of Birds, as far as 10-part BBC-produced Attenborough-narrated nature programs go, but I'm not sure Freezer was ever released for region 1.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It was, as far as I could make out through my shock and horror, about a guy who is cheating with some chick, but then it turns out her husband is cheating on her--with a guy, then he (R. Kelley) calls home and a guy answers HIS phone, so he drives home in a rage. His girl is in the shower and tells her the guy who answered the phone was her brother. He is all happy and they start having sex, but just as she's about to have a climax (which is how is is put in the song "She said, "I am about to climax.'"), he gets a cramp in his leg and stops and gets out of bed and finds a rubber and is horrified.
I am not making this up.

I've never heard of it. Maybe I will have to see if it was released for Region 1 and add it to Netflix if so.

I don't think I know that song. I don't think I'm sad that I don't know that song.

I just checked bbcamericashop.com, and it looks like it's only been released in the UK.
It's a great series, though. Some of the footage for March of the Penguins was actually licensed from it.

The R Kelly video sounds like badfic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And there are six parts to it! That shit is so bananas, it makes me not think about the R. Kelly-ness of it all.
