    Our pandas do it the natural way.

    Pandas are cute, but I vote for the Emperor penguin chick.

      Definitely Stokes - If we can post twice in 24 hours about burning NATO tankers, having two rounds of cute furry animals should be a no-brainer.

      Also, I just spoke with the penguin, and it wants its' crown back.
