Postgraduate students at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics discuss philosophy, study, and beer.
In response to Catie's earlier post of 'I can't believe its not Kant' I have knocked up this little doozy.
Get on board your favourite 'philosopher as pet' train. All the kids are doing it.

Ahaha, best thing ever :D
When Russell visited Australia in 1950, a newspaper wrote that he looked like "a sophisticated koala bear who has just thought of a funny story" (Alan Wood, "Bertrand Russell, The Passionate Sceptic", p.212).
After reading this, Russell insisted on seeing a koala. Having done that, he decided the description was a compliment.
I've put a picture of Russell with the koala at http://xeny.net/files/various/Russell-and-koala.jpg. I'm afraid you can hardly see the koala, because my scanner is crap. Photo credit: Alan Wood, "Bertrand Russell, The Passionate Sceptic", p.224f.
