    Chlamydia Outbreak Kills a Dozen Penguins [/b]


    "The bacteria, which was most likely transmitted to the birds by an infected seagull..."


    i heard that it was a different kind of chlamydia

    i am kinda sad about this. ok, yeah i have killed a pigeon but i love penguins and they have never terrorized me. they are so dorky waddling on land, but underwater they swim so gracefully. not to mention they are completely monogamous creatures. they find a mate and stick with them for life. that is so weird.

    and they look like they're wearing tuxedos.

    Makes the chlamadyia thing kinda ironic, huh?

    I love penguins too (we took little Miles to the aquarium last week to see them) but the thought of a bunch of them catching an STD from a slutty seagull is too much to bear...

    it's a different kind of Chlamydia! not the STD form.

    how dare you try to ruin their reputation. they are the squareest animals around.

    There was just a lot of animal talk. I didn't want the "bear"(v)/"bear"(n) homonym to feel left out.

































    I'm bored at work.

    yes and they also swing both ways.

    there's been studies where male and female penguins whose mate had died will often pair up with a single penguin of the same sex... sometimes coddling rocks in a nest and such.

    wasnt it a big scandal a couple years back about a whole grip of gay penguins at a zoo??
