... Canary Islands, that is (named after dogs, not birds). Anyway, PhD comics has a semi-funny (chuckle-worthy, I suppose) panel on the artist's recent trip to the observatory on Tenerife. I went to a meeting on La Palma back in '98, and I will agree that they take their partying seriously. The bars don't get crowded until 2:00, and they empty at sunup.
