    Petting chickens via the Internet

       This is an interesting technology story about research at the National University of Singapore. "We understand the perceived eccentricity of developing a system for humans to interact with poultry remotely, but this work has a much wider significance..."

    Wow. Thanks, Paul. I'd missed this one.
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

    That's kind of creepy.

    That is bizzare. What will they think of next?

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.
