For a <font size=1>penguin</font size=1> like him, you'll probably need to do a John Henry, using a sledge in each hand. <font size=1>Penguin</font size=1> foreheads can be awfully thick, and in most cases the entire head is solid. We're talking densities like reinforced concrete here. tongue.gif:D:D

What could be more alike than <font size=1>penguin</font size=1> heads and density? Don't they go together like green eggs and ham? :D

My grandmother used to make green eggs and strangely enough it was through poaching them in country ham grease and coffee grounds. Think that's where Suess got the idea for the story. Maybe. :mad:

{edited to add: coffee grounds}

I thought for sure Snarker would have answered: "Sure. Just as soon as I get one."

He's being soft on me out of respect, methinks.

His strategic error.

Mwahahahahahahaha!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I've been talking with him by e-mail. Seems like a nice guy and pretty helpful in his willingness to get me a copy of Boldin's memoirs of the eastern front which has been out of print since 1961.

Only problem - it's not translated and I don't speak Russian. :mad: :mad: :mad:
