There's no need to lop my balls off, Spawk. I decided at age 17 to have NO children (either in or out of wedlock). I am now 55 and I still have no children. It wasn't easy...but I managed it. You have no cause for concern. Well, very little cause, anyway...I suppose it's still possible, but it ain't likely!

I entered "battling penguins" because I think penguins are funny and I thought it might turn up something good. I entered "well-fed duck" for much the same kind of reason. Don't forget that I would never have become aware recently that a giant penguin was devastating Australia (see thread) had I not typed into Google the phrase "Giant Penguin" the other day. I rest my case.

There is a precise method to my madness, Spawk. Study the Inspector Clouseau (Pink Panther) films for further insight on my method. "I never refuse the challenge!" (spoken in bad French accent)

You obviously don't realize just how much free time I have on my hands here...between seeking enlightenment and reforming society and ending the divisive system of party politics once and for all. :-)
