A sério! Eu leio outros jornais...

Estive a dar uma vista de olhos pelos posts que afixei até aqui, e até parece que, no tocante a imprensa não especializada, só leio o Público...

Nada mais errado. Para além do Público, que é aquisição diária, compro e leio o DN pelo menos quatro vezes por semana. Quanto a semanários, o Independente e o Expresso, e para além destes ainda chegam cá a casa todas as semanas a Economist e a Spectator, por cortesia de assinaturas de familiar próximo.
"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
