Hi,
sorry for being offtopic, but this MUST be told!
Last week, the german magazin "DER SPIEGEL" reports,
that finally it has been managed to solve a long lasting
puzzle: You know, penguins are very sociable animals,
building huge herds (wrong word?) when they raise their
children. It was unknown, how partners could find each
others after fishing in such a mass of equal looking
penguins.

Now they have found it! The language they use is a
fast change of long and short whistles, each sequence
is unique for a couple of penguins.

The language is -- on logical base - comparable with
barcodes and/or binary code.

I know it! I know it before! :-)

TUX is not just a cute pengo, it has the "binary inside" ! ;-))))
