» Have you ever seen a dead body?

is more blase than a penguin should be..
Yup, seen many. Its part of my job so i see them in many states from cardiac arrest to in the morgue, and also at dissecion. Dissection is strange - you get freaked out by it the first time and then it just becomes routine... The worst ever experience ive had though was a gentleman who was left on an air pump mattress while i was expected to certify him dead: its about 4am, dark with the rain agaist the windows, I go into a little half lit room where hes laid out, with flowers and a bible, and I put my stethoscope to his chest and just at that point the air matress reinflates and I can hear it through his chest - this deep ascending Hwooogh noise as though he had just taken a huge gasp... my legs had got me out into the corridor before my brain worked it all out....

» Spoilt Brats

pint sized penguin
I fear that I, Mrs el pinguino am spoiling said small penguin...

I mean, its ridiculous- I do everyting for him, hes fed, kept warm, carried about, I sort out all his mess, talk to him, make decisions for him, he barely has to breath!
Do I get any thanks - no, just an occasional kick when theres too much noise or hes bored

Still, hes got to be born some time in the next fortnight

HaH! That'll learn him!
