Check this news article out: Giant penguins once roamed Peru desert, fossils show

This amused me XD

I was tagged by nyaabo:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.

Sorry guys. It was a book in Spanish.

El Bibliotecario lo había visto de pasada hacía tiempo, y se había quedado ligeramente perplejo. Parecía fuera de lugar ahí.*

Su mano peluda pasó las páginas. Ah... Ahí estaba...

Sí. Oh, SÍ.

... le hablaba en el lenguage del Ritmo.



* Y no parecía que hiciera nada en absoluto al enemigo.

From Terry Pratchett's "Soul Music".

I'll do that character meme tomorrow. Actually, I'm half done with it, but it's so LONG to gather the stats for it!

Yeah I had to keep recounting it a billion times. XD

Wao, I want a giant penguin.

I took Spanish a couple of years ago... and it did not help me at all apparently. :D;;

...that meme doesn't work too well with manga.

Whoever came up with this meme is a statistic sadist. I had to cut-paste the characters in the Windows Notepad to rearrange them by gender and/or genre like twice each. Counting was no good because I lost count every time I found a character I didn't know if s/he was main or secondary or minor, if s/he was good or bad or gray.

Besides, the classification was so closed I had issues due to the nature of my fandoms. I found myself tagging one mascot, one asexual, and four adults who look younger than thirteen XDDDDDD

And it's easier for me to see trends between genders than between genres.

Don't worry, the fragment about is a bit thick and advanced for school-level Spanish. So don't feel bad XD

It says, roughly:

The Librarian had seen it at a glance a while ago, and he was left slightly puzzled. It seemed out of place in there. (Footnote: And it didn't seem it did a thing to its enemy at all.)

His furry hand turned the pages. Ah.. there it was.

Yesssss. Oh YES.

...it spoke to him in the language of Rhythm.

(By the way, the character is an sentient orangutan. Hence the hands.)

Not really, no. Especially if it's one of those with no numeration.
