Upon suffering some tummy-trouble:
“It must have been
that caviar,” he was thinking. “That
beastly caviar.” He violently
hated caviar. Every sturgeon in
the Black Sea was his personal
enemy.
-- Aldous Huxley, Point Counter
Point (1928), p. 67
There is something reverent and
respectful about have a personal relationship with each individual sturgeon,
albeit one of enmity. In the
case of penguins, such a distributed relationship exists -- but in this case,
one of amity.
And it was in that spirit that
Doctor Justice set forth upon his visionary project of individually naming each
and every penguin. The project was
a success, and is now famed throughout the civilized universe. You can read about it here:
