Blog number 536 ******** 10 January 2012
So I'm watching my telly and a commercial comes on sorrowing about the plight of the polar bears who are dying of starvation and engaging in cannibalistic behavior because the melting ice keeps them away from their normal food supply.
We are asked to send money to help keep the polar bears from becoming extinct. So right away I'm wondering what they are going to do with the money to help the bears. The only thing I can think of is that they will buy a humongous ice maker. Or maybe fly a relief plane over and drop seals near the bears.
This commercial made me even more suspicious of television's "send money" pleas than I already was.
On further thought, I think what they might do with any money is to hire people who could study them with radios, etc and maybe find a clue as to how they could be saved. I'd buy that
Speaking of cannibalism, zombies are NOT cannibals. They do not eat their own. And also, since they are already dead, how can a bullet kill them? And do they walk so slow because of their age or are they afraid some of their "flesh" will slough off, or what?
Lion dens. Lions do not live in dens. Never have, never will. They don't need to. What would they be hiding from?
I a pretty sure that this lion den thing comes from the Bible story about Daniel in the lion's den. But that "den" was a cage and the lions were forced in there.
When we lived in Sacramento, there was a story in the local paper about a peacock that flew into the lion's "den." Guess what happened to it.
