Danger, Will Robinson, New Blogger in the Vicinity!! Danger-Danger!!

I keed I keed!

A big WELCOME to our good friend Lesley, who has mustered the courage (or lack of anything better to do during her downtime) to start her own blog! Now, by her own admission, she has an attention span almost as long as her pug Popo's, so make her feel welcome, inundate her with loving or scathing comments, and above all keep her interested past her two week blog life-expectancy.

Spread the word and the love!

Ironically, the story takes place in the refrigerated section of New York's Central Zoo, where a pair of special penguins have proven that being gay really is going to the birds. Meet Roy and Silo, a pair of chinstrap penguins. Roy and Silo met during the 1998 breeding season and paired off for life as many species of penguin are wont to do. Nothing unusual here, save one small detail: both are male penguins. Gay penguins are nothing new. The are several paired same sex penguins at the Berlin Zoo in Germany. The Gay penguins there have gotten so famous in their homeland that there were protests when zoo keepers attempted ways of making the homo-ice-birds go for members of the oppos...
