- "If only I'd had more time to think about my place in the vast universe."
A dog was
mysteriously trapped on an ice floe. The dog
was rescued by Polish sailors who fed him sausages. Now the dog has become a Polish sailor dog.
The best thing about this heartwarming tale of canine introspection interrupted by drunk sailors is perhaps the image at right, as clear a metaphor as we've seen in this young decade for how truly alone we all are in the face of a vast, meaningless universe. (Not sure how the sausages fit into this particular metaphor).
