I'm eating animal crackers right now and none of them really look like animals..well..I guess this one looks sorta like a camel and I think this one is trying to be an elephant or maybe a rhino..hmm...crunch..but they're really crisp...

Speaking of animal crackers:

The newest animal to join the Barnum's Animals® Crackers menagerie is the koala, thanks to consumers across the country who chose the lovable koala over three other potential additions

The koala, which beat out the penguin, the walrus and the cobra, will join the 18 other animals in Barnum's Animals® Crackers in September.

Too bad, I think the Cobra cracker would have been the ticket.....crunch.....

The German defeat marked a turning point in the war, crushing Hitler's drive to isolate the Soviet heartland from the southern oil fields, and the battle remains a powerful symbol of Soviet courage and perseverance during the second world war, which is often called the Great Patriotic War in Russia.
