August 24, 2012- Gemina the Giraffe
An Edhatter found an old t-shirt celebrating Gemina the Giraffe. (pronounced Jeh-MEE-nah)
(July 16, 1986-January 9, 2008)
It's not everyday you find a giraffe with memorial t-shirts and a wikipedia page in her memory, but S.B.'s very own Gemina the Giraffe has just that. Gemina, you will not be forgotten!
In the news: An Achitectural Board of Review member resigns over Chick-Fil-A, and David Landecker is stepping down from the Environmental Defense Center. There's been a recent recall of romaine lettuce and melons, so wash your veggies well, just to be sure. Read these stories and more below.
