Thought for the day

This bears repeating

Warning: there is no merit, journalistic or otherwise, to this post. But recently, while looking through my nephew's Ask magazine -- a cool science rag for kids -- I learned a little something. It seems new research shows that pandas pee on trees while doing handstands. (And hey, if the BBC's reporting it, it must be news.)

In this gloomy world, when all talk is of climate change and other catastrophes, let us simply take a moment to savor that.

Woo, woo. I know why, and I've either heard it all sometime in the foogy mists of time unrememembered, or I'm smart!

- The higher the pee mark, the bigger the panda must have been to do it.

Says the Panda that happens upon the marking: "A pee stain at head height?? Man that's one damned big panda that made that. Maybe I shouldn't invade his territory".

It's all about duplicity for competitive advantage. Nice to see the loveable pandas do it too.
