    I can't reply today, sarah.of.a.lesser...but remember, I still think Knut would at least be a middle-name contender. Just something to consider.

    Isn't "Knut" a unit of money from Harry Potter? Or did I just make that up?

    I want him to come here to the San Diego Zoo. There are three there right now, but the enclosure rocks, so I don't see why not! And the bears here are always rather clean looking.

    Um, my understanding from the German press is that Berlin Zoo is NOT trying to sell Knut. They never owned him in the first place. His father belongs to another zoo, and some deal was cut that the cub who became Knut would belong to that zoo.

    So, his "parents" use all the money he made them and now they're trying to get of him? No wonder he has problems.


    Are we gonna see him on Celebrity Rehab in a few years? Cause, um, I wouldn't mind if he ripped Jeff Conaway a new one, literally.
