Just watching this makes my palms sweat. I so could not do this, EVER.

My ass feels scientifically validated.

Worst. Day. Ever. for that penguin.

Looks kinda poky, and like it might burn you. Pretty, though.

The article gets more reflective and intelligent as it goes along, if you read the whole thing. I still don't like the "slut" usage, though. I'd rather see the word go out of fashion, instead of having guys identify who "is" a "slut" and then teaching their daughters not to be that "bad" girl.

This is like something out of that Terry Pratchett novel about the post office...

What a cool fish! (And owner.) I wish someone would give ME a food treat every time I did something right, though... Maybe I can be a goldfish in my next life.

I thought this was going to be cute, but it turned out to be obviously scripted. :( Four-year-olds' actual political opinions would be sort of awesome.

I've wondered before what happens to "working" elephants. I'm glad someone is taking care of them.

Parker: do you really think it has to be a zero-sum game? Why not do both?

I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. On the one hand, she's really wearing more than a lot of girls her age have on when they're in a bathing suit. On the other, my parents would definitely have said "uh, NO" to a picture like that when I was that age.

I tend to side with the people who are wondering why her parents didn't think a little harder before they published that.

Ugh. That's just depressing. Why would someone dress their kid in that?

Love it. This is a great story!

This makes me sort of sick.

Those shoes are terrifying. At least the models are so skinny they just sort of fold up, and can bounce back up quickly.

This is just depressing. Surely they could send living cell cultures or plants or something if we want to test radiation damage.
