It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Who were the famous gay penguin couple that broke up? And who was the female penguin that lured one of them away?

Speaking of Buffistas who may not be what they seem!

Also, I just got spam from Gus.

Huh. I found:

Looks like Harry ditched Pepper for a widowed lady penguin named Linda, who lived next door.

Anyway, there's a conspiracy-theory generator here that I used that info for: Print: 6 Elements Every Conspiracy Theory Needs

OK, here's my conspiracy theory:

Are you kidding me? Harry and Pepper breaking up was a total sham! Think about it! Everyone knows that penguins mate for life. And have you noticed that vast rightwing conspiracy has started to act very strangely? They obviously don’t want this story getting out. I mean, what would happen if people began asking Is Linda really a female? Well, they may be able to fool the sheeple, but the members of Gay Penguin Alliance aren't swallowing their story. Look, don’t take it from me; W C Fields is convinced as well. But we have to act fast, because they might launch a war to distract us. I just wanted you to be aware of this, in case I disappear.

Just regular Viagra spam, but the "sender" was "Gus." Just funny timing.

NOT COOL, PLANET EARTH:

Chile quake = shorter days

The massive earthquake that struck Chile on Saturday may have shifted the Earth's axis and created shorter days, scientists at NASA say.

The change is negligible, but permanent: Each day should be 1.26 microseconds shorter, according to preliminary calculations. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second.

Huh. That'll make the moon move away from Earth faster.

But in the long term, the trend is for days to get longer. A long long long long time ago, a day was about 8 hours, and the moon was huge (cuz it was much closer).
