Off we go snarking....
On Wednesdays Penguins go snarking. Today we will discuss books we haven't even read. Leave it to me, to do a post without actually knowing anything. So if you want to chuckle and get by without too much work, come join us over here! If you do like to put in the work, comment here first and then come on over anyway :)
Update on the nursing education: I can now measure you blood pressure, pulse, breathing and body temperature, non-digitally, more or less realiably. My parents are very proud.

Guest Posting
The rumors about my death have been exaggerated. This can be proven by the fact that I am guest posting over at the SNARK! and the fact that I passed my finals and am moving on to the next round.*little mini wave in celebration of me*
We will, however talk about some people that did kick the bucket, but went with style. If you wanna know why the above epitaph is funny, come join us over there!

True,
it is time for a new post around here, that is why I published one over THERE!
Come join us, we will be on our best behavior and there might be cookies, too. Don't worry, I didn't make them!
Only nuns get to have pet-penguins!
Why change a life-long habit? Black and White it is!

It's Wednesday...
let's SNARK over here!
On today's menu: different colors of the rainbow, flavored by insanity!
Sounds good, huh?!

Did you know....
you cannot chain your alligator to a fire hydrant in Alabama?
You didn't? Well, I guess it is time for you to familiarize yourself with this necessary knowledge HERE. Who knows in what prison you might end up in otherwise, regardless most of them come with a toothless mountain of a person asking you if you feel lucky tonight.
Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time. *checks her flightless feathers*

I find it hard these days to come back to my blog. It somehow feels abandoned to me, partly becuase I have so little time to play with it. Yet I am having the hardest time to just go ahead and empty the shelves and lock up. Maybe because I hope that eventually time, energy and some interesting thoughts will return.
For today we have a snarkpost up HERE, where we will creatively tackle the stress of deadlines in a sentence. You are more than welcome to join us there!
As for this blog, penguin cartoons do cheer me up tremendously:
A lovely Wednesday to you!

Wednesday Snark
In a few minutes my guest post will appear
out of nowhere
over HERE.
People really shouldn't rhyme this early! Makes them seems unsound. Talking about the loonies, that's what we'll discuss on the Snark today. Come join us!
Happy Wednesday, everybody!
Oh and a little shout-out to the best thing I read last week about impatience:
"Some where a wise man is sitting under a tree. Just sitting. Very patiently waiting. And perhaps he'll wait tomorrow and the next day and the waiting won't bother him a bit. If I was told to wait three days under a tree then by the end of the first day I would have fashioned crude wooden tools from the lower branches. By the end of day two I'd have used the tools to fell the tree and split the wood into planks. By day three I'd have the tree turned into a small shelter with a large bonfire in front. And then I'd probably be told that the tree was magical and now, after my 3-day wait, would grant my wildest wishes.... but uhm, hey, where did the magical tree go?" -Morgan-

Wednesday Snark!
I know, it´s been a week. But summer has arrived in Iceland and the week that that is going to last, I better be outside and let the sun kiss and tickle my skin.
For those of you that have missed me and need a dose of Minka, venture over to Centralsnark and read something or other about time, and how it doesn´t fly as much as it staggers on allowing you to grow.
Here is a bit of trivia about time:
"Fortnight" is a contraction of "fourteen nights." In the US "two weeks" is more commonly used.
A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.
Any month that starts on a Sunday will have a Friday the 13th in it.
England and the American colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar on September 14th, 1752. 11 days disappeared.
If the sun stopped shining suddenly, it would take eight minutes for people on earth to be aware of the fact.
The monastic hours are matins, lauds, prime, tierce, sext, nones, vespers and compline.
The wristwatch was invented in 1904 by Louis Cartier.

Penguin goes snarking!
If you ever want to come and visit the Penguin, and I think that you should!, you need to learn a bit about volcanoes. Yes, those mountains with hiccups! It´s for your own safety, now head over to the SNARK and graduate Magma cum laude in the advanced science of how to deal with an upset tummy of a volcano!
*Volcanoes are not all bad....
a)take Pompeii for example:
"Pompeii is an ancient city of south Italy, a port near Naples and at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius. An eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79 buried Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and Stabiae, under cinders and ashes that preserved the ruins of the city with magnificent completeness - down to the fresh colors of the wall paintings.
The long-forgotten site of the city was rediscovered in 1748 and has been sporadically excavated since that time thus revealing the habits, manners, art and architecture of Roman times."
In case a volcano ever preseves me, there is a decent stamp collection in my basement, just sayin´!
b) from a distance it is so beautiful and particularly one fine day in 1991 when both heaven and earth erupted simultaneously on MT. Hekla:
and the green auroral band occurred fortuitously about 100 kilometers above the erupting red lava.

It´s all about horses....
I am SNARKING today, but not really...I have problems loading my quiz for this week´s post over there, so until I figure something else...I have put it here for your convenience!
Create your own Friend Quiz here
Hope you enjoy, learn something and try to leave google out of this ;) Also, if you notice a mistake I made, it is not really there, you are imagining things!
Wonderful Wednesday to everybody!
Ok, I just realized you have to sign up for doing this quiz, I didn´t realize when I put it up, so I absolutely understand if you want to ignore it and tell me how wonderful I am instead. Really, it´s ok! ;)

I apologize...
for my absence of late, but I am out of town and animals with identity crises need my species knwledge to be pigeon-holed correctly.
For more information about Mrs. Seuss' adventures go over ¨HERE and say "HI", if you can oink like a pig you get an extra point;)
Tomorrow I´ll be back at FULL THROTTLE with a Thursday Trivia and visits to your blogs! I might wear an ape suit, you´ll recognize me by the unicorn horn!
For additional monkey business go to HOMORBLOGS!

It´s Wednesday...
which means I am SNARKING on another page. This week, habitats in Iceland:
Icelanders are all hobbits? Who said that?
p.s...if my post is not up there yet...come back and answer me this: If due to some circumstances beyond your control, you´d make it to this island, what is the first thing you would want to see?
If this does not amuse you, I swear on my purple socks, that you´ll find something to stretch your lips on HUMORBLOGS.

Excuse my absense of late...
but I did have my reasons. They were three-fold!
1. A weekend promised to my three little nephews. Cinema, dining out *laughs* and playing games.
I just love this picture. Somehow they are all adjusting their clothing at the same time, for no apparent reason. Hereditary research would get a kick out of this one :)
Details about this trip will feature in the next post. Much is left to be said about the courageous aunt that goes the distance.
2. I had to see about a lamb. This one below. If you wanna know more, I encourage a visit to the SNARK!!! where I am hosting today.
3. I couldn´t find my night-vision goggles that I wear when posting, my socks didn´t match either. It was that kinda week!
