STRIKESTOCK PART 1

Have you seen that "March of the Penguins?" This one will cheer you up. It's a good holiday movie for you and yours if your plans include group suicide.

Don't get me wrong - it's also highly uplifting and beautiful, only it's a tragic beauty, in the sense of:

Middle English tragedie, from Middle French, from Latin tragoedia, from Greek tragOidia, from tragos goat (akin to Greek trOgein to gnaw) + aeidein to sing --

... meaning it's really all about singing goats.

That's beside the point. If you want to talk about Intelligent Design, then I want to talk to the Designer and ask what he's got against penguins. Seriously, the guy's a sadist.
