And here is what our lovely locals are up to: > [@](#): > > A month ago, the National Zoo’s female giant panda said, “No!” to her eager would-be mate. But she apparently has done some growing up since then. Yesterday, her answer was: “Maybe.” The two pandas were reunited yesterday for the first time since March 27, when the male, Tian Tian, unexpectedly jumped the female, Mei Xiang, and she fled up a tree. Zoo staff said his hormones probably were rising and hers were not. ---

Pandas I can live with, Whales are what get up my nose (ok so not literally).If they are so damn clever why do they beach themselves? They are big stupid fish (yes I know they are mammals…but so are hedgehogs and no one called them bright!) Why do whales allow experimenting Japanese and culturally hungry Scandenavian types to catch them if they are so damn clever. They are supposed to be nearly as intelligent as us , and while we do stupid things regularly, when was the last time you read of a family getting lost and forgetting they lived on land while they ploughed into the Pacific and then lay round waiting for some caring whales to rescue them? Great big stupid fish!! ---

So much for calm… I think the WWF used them in the logo just 'cause they can be rendered round and in black and white and still be discernable. I bet they hate them too. Good one, **Tars**. ---

actually, Zorrro, that was an excellent rant. What are your political views? I’d like to hear a good political rant from you? Are you a pubbie or a demmi? ---

As he’s from the UK, pubbie and demmi don’t cover it. We’ve got capitalist pigs (Conservatives), commie scum (labour) and far rightwing ultra-capitalists (New Labour). ---

No, no. The Lib Dems are the opposition-in-waiting. At least, so they say and they’re far too nice a bunch of people to lie to us. I think the solution is to house the pandas next to the monkey cage. Those little randy sods are never off the job so you’d have to think that even lazy bastard pandas would get the idea. Hell, that’s where I got the idea, and I was six at the time. We never went back to that zoo, I can tell you. Give them a couple of days of live monkey porn and they’ll soon be in the swing of things.
