Quickies
Skepchick Quickies 10.1
- Ancient giant penguin unearthed in Peru – Five foot tall penguin, thing of dreams or nightmares? From Dave W.
- Record number of paranormal events in Britian this past year – Clearly, this is Rebecca’s fault.
- Most complete beer “proteome” finding could lead to engineered beer – The researchers, “…realized that beer ranks behind only water and tea as the world’s most popular beverage, and yet little research had been done to identify the full set of proteins that make up beer.” From Postman.
- Godshopped: Urban dictionary’s word of the day – From cerberus40.
- Cute Animal Friday! Infinite Monkey thinks this kitty is allergic to George Lucas. Zoltan sent in these cute field mouse photos. And since it’s my birthday, I’m going to post my favoritest cute animals: the fuzztasticness that is sand cat kittens.
Since Jen made fun of me last year for not saying it was my birthday in the quickies, I will say it again: It’s my birthday! Whee! Please send photos of cute men with cute animals.
Mmm, cue a community deciding that we should only drink ‘proper natural MAN’S beer’ and anything engineered is for ‘sissies’. Nevermind if it tastes nicer.
“For it was only a penguin—albeit of a huge, unknown species larger than the greatest of the known king penguins, and monstrous in its combined albinism and virtual eyelessness.” — H.P. Lovecraft, ‘At the Mountains of Madness’
I’m just waiting for the giant Batman fossil.

The collection of events at paranormal “hot spots” in that article is seriously lame, with one of the lamest leading the list:
I don’t think the two paragraphs are meant to be connected by anything but geography, but the first one doesn’t really make sense on its own as a paranormal event…
And happy birthday!
@Zapski: Been reading the Return of Bruce Wayne, have we?
Nope, but color me intrigued.
Happy Birthday and Hot Menny More!
Ok so there were 5 foot tall penguins. The real question is,were they more intelligent than humans?
@davew: Here’s an image you can color :)
