As an alien visiting this planet, I have been wondering about blogs for several of your Earth years. I always thought they were small little lizard like creatures that changed color when you held them up to different items. You know, kind of like the nauga, the animal they use to make naugahyde furniture. The internet describes the nauga thus:

An animal called the "Nauga" whose hides are supposedly the natural source of all the Naugahyde manufactured. According to the story, which has become something of folk-lore in parts of Connecticut, the Naugas are nocturnal, hairless, aquatic mammals of many colors that live in the Naugatuck River, and can be made to come to the surface at night by shining a flashlight into the water. The Naugas are then captured and sorted by color to be made into the various colors of Naugahyde. Allegedly, when rolled together on a mechanical press, the seams between the Naugas disappear, resulting in a seamless, leather-like product. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naugahyde)

Finally, my spousal unit pointed out to me that blogs were actually some type of primitive communication device that allows humans to share thoughts, ideas, and feelings that seem to indicate a level of intimacy. (Note to self: take time to better understand Human concept of feelings.)
