Penguin DreamsAndroids may dream of electric sheep, but what do penguins dream about? The cruelty they suffer at the hands of Yetis, or maybe exacting their revenge? This cute little interactive flash thing certainly suggests that the mind of the penguin is indeed a weird place.

What is it with penguins btw? They're one of those re-occurring Internet themes, like toast, that I find fairly inexplicable. I mean don't get me wrong I think penguins are kind of cute, and I love eating toast, but I don't really devote any off-line time to discussing them (with the exception of some time during my last job where a group of us become obsessed with adopting a penguin). On-line though they seem to take up an un-natural about of discussion time. Strange. At some point someone should study the psychology of why some subjects become so focused upon on the Internet.

And if only to add weight to my bizarre thoughts this is probably as good a time as any to mention that I'm in the process of planning a lazylaces toast 'special'. I've been saving up the exceptional number of toast related links I have collected to release all in one go. Just don't ask me why. I've already said I don't understand.

1. Yes we did indeed, and as far as I know the team at my old job still sponsor him. He was a <a href="http://www.unicover.com/EA1BAMNN.htm">Humboldt’s Penguin</a> at <a href="http://www.marwell.org.uk/geninfo.htm">Marwell Zoological Park</a>. If I remember rightly we christened him "Timmy".
2. Don't hold your breath for the toast post, as with all my plans it's been in the pipeline for ages and other than collecting material I haven't done much about it. Actually mentioning it was my attempt to spur myself into action. Maybe if I have some time this weekend.
