I'd like to visit Kerguelen. Although it is very harsh in climate it is in some areas quite beautiful.
Here are some links:

Yep, that's the most important thing to care about when commenting stories written by eleven-year olds.Eddy the Great wrote:I have just one piece of advice for Jeerio: Try an alternative to capitalism.
(Twenty years from now, Eddy's eleven year old kid comes to him:
Kid: Look, Daddy, I've finished my story about Jambog the weird blue frog!
Eddy: Oh, how nice! Does Jambog rightfully condemn the oppressive evils of capitalism and girls dressing in other ways than boys?
Kid: (very annoyed voice) Yeeees, Dad, I've thought of that...)

BTW, Mark,
who's Piggy Banks?Glenn Kempf wrote: Actually, I think most of the editing was to remove Earthly and other non-Almean references; in the excerpt from the original text given on the Secret History of Almea page, Jeerio is interested in "Alchemy and Logarithms, and Kerguelen Island and Piggy Banks",

It's not a person, it's another word for 'money box'. At least, I hope it is.Raphael wrote:BTW, Mark,

A piggy bank is a ceramic pig which used to be given to kids to save coins in. The repressive character-building ones had no way to get the money out but to smash the pig. The friendlier ones had a stopper you could remove to get at the cash.

LOL!(Twenty years from now, Eddy's eleven year old kid comes to him:

"There was a particular car I soon came to think of as distinctly St. Louis-ish: a gigantic white S.U.V. with a W. bumper sticker on it for George W. Bush."
I liked the story. It was very good for an 11 year-old. The pictures were also excellent. You can see a lot of Mark's humour forming in the story, it's very interesting.
The man of science is perceiving and endowed with vision whereas he who is ignorant and neglectful of this development is blind. The investigating mind is attentive, alive; the mind callous and indifferent is deaf and dead. - 'Abdu'l-Bahá

I just wanted to revive Jeerio for a moment; I was re-reading the story, and was impressed once again by the sharpness of Mark's wit, even back then.

I love that line.[T]he sun was setting, as it so often does, and the birds were singing in the trees?polkas and waltzes, mostly.
It took at least my third reading of this before I thought of The Hobbit...?I could look for adventures on weekends,? Jeerio pointed out. ?I could find some Dwarfs?they always have adventures to share..."

Something I read today:zompist wrote:Heh, I shouldn't have implied that there was just one interesting fact about Kerguelen Island.
From Almost Like a Whale:The Origin of Species Updated by Steve Jones.Any population that goes through a bottleneck has no choice but to evolve. Cats tell the story. Cities are filled with feline diversity - tabby, black and white, orange, lonng-haired and all the rest. Islands are different. Every cat on the remote French Dependency of Kerguelen, in the southern Indian Ocean, is black (some mitigated by splashes of white), no doubt becaues the few arrivals carried only those genes. On the equally French territory of St Pierre-Miquelon, fifteen miles off Newfoundland, the cats are different again. Their genes are not like those of the nearby mainland, but a reduced sample of those of Bordeaux, two thousand miles away.
