Daring Escape by Penguin Number 337

Alex

It's a prizon break unlike any other: a young Humboldt penguin known only as "Penguin Number 337" escaped a Tokyo aquarium in a brazen escape.

The one-year-old Humboldt penguin scaled a rock wall and squeezed through a fence during a daring bid for freedom some time in the past week, sparking a penguin hunt that included a city-wide call for information on the tubby fugitive.

Tokyo Sea Life Park, on the shores of Tokyo Bay, was alerted to the escape of the bird, known only by its number, after receiving a photograph on Sunday that supposedly showed it swimming in the bay.

Kazuhiro Sakamoto, the park's deputy director, thinks it may have been a case of happy feet.

"The penguin hatched last year on January 27, so it is still a very young penguin," Sakamoto said.

"We think that because of its young age, it might have escaped due to its curiosity and yearning for adventure."

It's a automatic pop up manual slide-out toaster. Set the timer on the front and, when it dings, you slide the dowel, door, timer...and toast! Unheated coals not included (it is wood, after all--hot coals would be ridiculous).

In Victorian Times, the mouse circus was always a popular Sunday affair. In order to out-shine the other travelling rodent circus acts, many tools were favoured to give our miniature cheese-nibblers a paw-up on their fellow vermin. This tool is the infamous "French Souris-Planche-Des-Doom" (mouse-plank-of-doom) trainer. It allowed the wee ones to practice the gravity-defying scrambles, leaps, and tumbles, across a beam no wider than a mouse's fuzzy-five-claw (or is it four?). The wheel allowed for angle adjustments at an number of gear-locked set points, including the 10 degree "ho-hum", 45 degree "cheese bonus", and 90 degree "sign of the apocalypse now!".
