They've discovered a new species of shark off the Great Barrier Reef of Australia.... a walking shark. (Lawyer jokes keep popping into my head now.)
Things that always make me smile ... aardvarks, giraffes, platypi, meercats, kittens and puppies
and Wednesdays.
Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week because that was the day we went to the library when I was in the 4th grade - the first year I was allowed to get books from the "real shelves". In an effort to expose us students to art and culture, the librarian would put reproductions of famous statues on the library tables... I always sat at the table where she put the "Laughing Buddha" and first and last thing of every visit, I would rub his belly - not for luck, but because he made me laugh.

...and I thought Laurie Anderson made that up!
"What did the snake say? Yes! What was he saying? OK. I will tell you. The snake told her things about the world. He told her about the time there was a big typhoon on the island and all the sharks came out of the water. Yes. They came out of the water and they walked right into your house with their big white teeth."
