This is probably a much healthier attitude considering most people actually do die eventually. Elsewhere death is held as a punishment. In Iran, according to a strict interpretation of Islamic law, a convicted murderer will be spared from the death sentence after the father of the slain son pardoned him. The pardoned man now faces up to ten years in prison. And finally a bit of a biology story.
British researchers are on their way to South Georgia in the south Atlantic to study penguins.
The penguins have been reported to watch planes and helicopters flying overhead, leaning back to watch their flight until they fall over. Reports of the falling penguins have been disregarded by many scientists, but confirmations by high ranking Navy officers have prompted a closer look.
