Colossal penguin bones from the extinct species Palaeeudyptes klekowskii have been discovered on an island in the Antarctic Peninsula. According to a new study published in Comptes Rendus Palevol last week, these newly uncovered bones belonged to a 2-meter-long behemoth, the tallest and heaviest penguin ever described. |

Now that you mention it I haven't seen Aimless post in a few days. I can account for my whereabouts however, so that is all that matters.

I'm pretty sure lawyers don't die. They're like gingers. But maybe we should send flowers? Might be disturbing to find out his ancestors actually had souls.

I knew Aimless was old (like real old), but I didn't think he was that old.
