A Rolling Stone does gather moss, after all?

Hey, we humans got a whole civilization running on dead dinosaurs, this doesn't seem too bad.

Evidently, they don't have food trucks in Antarctica yet.

In northern IN we have fast food restaurants called: Penguin Point. I'm sure you find this facinating..........

If it couldn't be me who traveled thousands of miles to spend months in a deep-frozen desert studying how fuzzy green vegetation can survive on millennia-old dessicated bird crap, then I'm grateful that Dr. Robinson could, at least.

It's not amazing at all the plants can use penguin maure as fertilizer. Why should it be any different from other manure, and once the nutrients are moved to that spot on land, they stay there until something uses them. Really boring study.

One moss to another, "Forget those leftovers. The real feast is in this thing those people call a 'potty'."
