Flake takes the cake…

flake-140.jpgOkay, no sarcasm, no irony, no smart-ass remarks in this posting. We’re declaring a one-hour ceasefire from the absurd, so everybody can pass around recent photos of a very small polar bear cub named Flocke, which means Flake.

Check out this slideshow, and be thankful it’s Friday so you probably don’t have any real work to do. If you come back in a couple of hours, there will be a Flake slideshow here, too.

And the usual advice applies: if you don’t know anybody who would just love to have you share these pictures, you seriously need to examine the peeps you hang out with.
