She passed the time quietly in a world of her own in which she was surrounded as far as the eye could see with old cabin trunks full of past memories in which she rummaged with great curiosity, and sometimes bewilderment. Or, at least, about a tenth of the cabin trunks were full of vivid and often painful or uncomfortable memories of her past life; the other nine tenths were full of penguins, which surprised her. Insofar as she recognized at all thatshe was dreaming, she realized she must be exploring her own subconscious mind. She had heard it said that humans are supposed only to use about a tenth of their brains, and that no one was very clear what the other nine tenths were for, but she had certainly never heard it suggested that they were used for storing penguins.

I read and loved the book.
Who’d have thought it so prescient?

Wait, has somebody confirmed the “90% penguin storage” hypothesis?
It was only a matter of time.

They don’t speak anymore.
Not after the spectacle of Auntie Josephine at the Murgatroyd Summerfest Garden Party.
That’ll take some living down.
I’m hopeful they’ll make up one day.
It’ll take time.

This is a nice introduction to colors in animals and particularly penguins. I think it’s especially interesting that they have their own unique yellow pigment…the only other vertebrates I know that do are parrots. Its chemical structure is still unknown.

What a wonderful article.
I’ve bookmarked it for a fuller read later.
Wow. The Rainbow Penguin.
My brief takeaway:
In fact, they exhibit color-generation mechanisms such as novel pigments and unique microstructures that are not seen in any other group of animals. They’ve reinvented blue and yellow hues from scratch, and the rainbow of penguin coloration only increases when we use fossil data to peek into the deep past.
