Mon May 20, 2013
- @ #s 1,2,&3. The author in no way suggested that the penguins exhibited free will. "Chose" and "sacrificed" are frequently used words when writing stories about evolutionary paths. I found the article well-written, albeit for an audience of early learners about penguins and/or evolution.

No. 1 swimming pool problem? It's number two!
Thu May 16, 2013
- @cried #1.40 24 lbs vs. 22.04 lbs? Less than 10% error. And yes that much error is very significant in many circumstances. Consider the context. More disturbing is that the "reporter" and/or (chuckle) "editor" failed to flag the error with a (sic). Perhaps it was a typo. (Where is that editor?!)
