Evolution: a rant.

From The Telegraph Newspaper Website, August 4th 2020:

New emperor penguin colonies discovered using satellites

Good heavens. 

Well, that puts paid to the expression bird brain, doesn't it.

Evolution, eh?

Word To Use Today: satellite. This word comes from the Latin satelles, which means an attendant. The fact that the word doesn't look that much like Latin might be because the word isn't, being probably of Etruscan origin.
