Dead Penguins - I never knew this!
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica?
Where do they go?
Wonder no more ! ! !
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely
ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for
life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle
have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until
the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?
It's so easy to fool some people.
I am sorry, an urge came over me that made me do it!!!
Oh, quit whining!

Re: Dead Penguins
Actually, the joke's on you. Penguins DO bury their dead. David Attenborough told me that himself. So there!
You don't think I really know David Attenborough do you?
