AND NOW FOR SOMETHING TOTALLY FRIVOLOUS. Years ago, there was this joke making the rounds that ended with a penguin popping through a hole in the ice and saying "radio." Please email skarlson at niu dot edu if you remember this joke and can refresh my memory how the rest of it goes.

RUNNING EXTRA: There is apparently a lame flatlander version of this non-joke joke. I have memories of a bit more involved story involving the penguin and the hole in the ice ...
