WTF just happened? I posted once, and I currently see three postings, with oddly different times and time formats on the last one.

Are you aware that your blog has a bug on Firefox? When you open a post, the page scrolls down after it's loaded. It doesn't happen on Chrome or IE.

On the topic of Rhinos, be sure to watch the new series by David Attenborough called Africa, the fist episode about the Khalahari desert has some unique footage showing the gentle sides of rhinos :-)
