"Four species of penguins that breed in Antartica are endangered by global warming," notes Richard Stallman. "Even I, the only man in the world who can get angry from looking at a picture of a penguin, find this bad news."

If it's any consolation, the gnu has apparently increased in number from 100,000 in 1950 to 1.5 million. According to Wikipedia, the collective noun for a herd of gnus is 'implausibility'. This means something; I'm sure of it.

Just a reminder: you can help the other implausible GNU (and indirectly, that blasted penguin), by joining the Free Software Foundation. I finally did so this year, and ever since I have experienced a tremendous sense of tranquility and well-being. I now radiate a dazzling aura of geeky freedom, every Windows computer I walk past BSODs (although that may just be coincidence), and choirs of free software angels herald my arrival wherever I go. It's really cool.
