Knut Hits the Big ‘1′
Okay, this heartwarning story is my just excuse to ask you to take a moment from your day to go and help choose a name for Greenpeace’s whale. (Hattip to that essential blog, Why That’s Delightful.) Though I wouldn’t like to influence your vote, ‘Mr. Splashy Pants’ has a certain ring to it, don’t you think?

Its been a busy newsweek for bears….at least this bears name cannot be seen to be offensive …unless that is you put the “u” before the “n”. The wifes knickers made out of fur would definately keep her Knut nice & warm.

Dear Ed, could you please delete above post as my wife finds it offensive…. she does not wear real fur…. and she never wears knickers.

Has the editor of the Spine been eaten by a bear called Knut? Or is there no news worthy of his wit? The Silence of the Spine is a chilling mystery, the suspense is killing me.

Titch,
Shhh…. don’t tell anyone but I have it on very good authority that the Spine editor is being kept prisioner in the celler of the house of a Channel4 presenter. This presenter wants our hero to write witty repartee for him.
He has resisted thus far but lack of food, water and stimulation are getting to him.
He does not want ‘The Spine’ to turn into a skeleton, you see.
So if Richard Mandeley suddleny becomes funny. You will know what has happened.

Eliza, thanks for keeping me informed. Whatever does become of the editor one thing is for certain….Richard Mandeley..or even..Richard Madeley will never,ever be funny.

Has a certain sloshiness to it, don’t you mean?

Looks like that Polar Bear leaves a pretty big Carbon Footprint! Better call Gore!
I think the name of Greenpeace’s new mascot should have been “Harpoon Harry”… but that’s just me. ;~D
