Pink iguanas discovered on Galapagos Islands
A team of Ecuadoran and Italian researchers have discovered a unique species of pink land iguanas living on the Galapagos Islands, the scientist who wrote the report told AFP.

"It is surprising to have made a find of this magnitude in the 21st century," said Washington Tapia, head of research at the Galapagos National Park.

Researchers at first thought that the iguanas, which are pink with black spots, simply had skin pigmentation problems, Tapia said.

The first pink iguanas were discovered in 1986, and after years of research scientists concluded that it was a unique species.

Given all the focus on ET over the coutless light-hearted stories capturing our attention, to wit:  Russian Bear-eating gas, Genocide in Gaza, mini-and-maxi Madoffs, rampant under-employment, and problems trusting in the statements of political leaders in Bulgmania and Rulivia,

and Given that in times of both overarching Positivismus in world affairs and underhanded Glad-handing in secret Malta;

We, the Lloyal Lurkers of Leftistan call your attention to news you probably missed:

The first pink iguanas were discovered in 1986, the same year the Pink Iquanas released their first post-punk hit.  More importantly, it was the same year the only breeding pair of one horned cows was sacramentally removed from free-galloping captivity in the Gallopagos, by silent black helicopters with Maltese crosses in flourescent green.  Notice the sychronicity?

We now return you to your ongoing depression.
