They are fairy penguins and tiny. I think Linus rather over-dramatises being bitten ;) -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390

I think Linus rather over-dramatises being bitten ;) In the 50s, when I was learning to swim at Flinders Bay, I saw my first one: someone had found one alone, and caught it. I've been fishing there many times since, and never seen another. However, there's a colony of them off Perth, at Penguin Is. I think they're to be found in the wild around the south coast of Australia, and quite likely South Africa and South America. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
