22. They talk, and a kind old hippie takes care of them on Telegraph
Hill. Also, they'll outlive us all!

14. White sharks have always fascinated me.
I have a cool GWS t-shirt I bought in Monterey. It was supposed to glow in the dark, but it doesn't. My Darth Maul t-shirt, on the other hand, DOES glow in the dark. It used to be my favorite shirt, but I have been worried about being considered too much of a geek. :)

17. I used to have a black light reactive t shirt with Hugh the borg on it.
so I certainly can't throw stones at others' expressions of geekishness.

18. My favorites: The Adelie
Penguins. I know the Emperors had the movie and all that, but Adelie penguins are so happy and goofy. Just look at this little goofball trying to figure things out! :D
