First public appearance of...
A little polar bear in Bearlin...
Together with a somehow untypical polar bear Mom...
Same time in Rodrigues/Indian Ocean.......a dog with red-brown fur waiting for some chicken bones...
And two days later....Sunday then...Knut is…when Papi Simba on 25th March shouted from the living-room, “You know, in Berlin they have now a little polar bear…” And Mami Simba thought “ Little polar bear, nice, so what…?? Haven‘t there been any other important news in the world ?”
Knut is… how she walked next morning to her ex-(free) online-center, and how she googled then fully automatically, means without any thinking, polar bear cub and Zoo Berlin even before she checked her e-mails (!!!)….and that she detected then that the Internet had already listed several thousand entries and that she found out the name, …just Knut, simply Knut…
Knut is…how she watched then a discovered video time and time again, that she asked the cleaning and security staff to join her, that she virtually forced them to watch it too, not to mention all the other people waiting for the PC in the queue…just to exceed shamelessly the 10 minutes limit and also to avoid leaving that place completely tear-stained as this tiny tot, hold by his eminently special mommy was just too much for her simple knitted island nature…
Knut is…that consecutively one could find her nearly every day 8 o‘clock sharp, before she continued then her odyssee to the next computers, in the beginning with 3 Floppys in her bag, shortly later with at least 10 …and yes, after not even one week all the tourists knew too that she was queuing again for Knut …at home then downloading everything on the homey PC with a HD indicating each week a memory decrease of at least 2% …
And today...Knut is...increase of disk space, pen drive instead of floppys, ADSL instead of a dial up connection, running 2 blogs and 3 mail accounts...and being completely hooked even after 2 years...so it got even worse!
