What do you know exactly about Penguins? (not Happy Feet)?

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antartica - 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 maintaining a form pf 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.¨

Then they kick him in the hole.

You really didn´t believe that we know anything about penguins, did you!?!

    Well, I don't know about others but I know a lot about penguins! I fully agree with whatever information you have offered here of course keeping in mind the category in which you have posted it in! What you failed to know or forgot to mention and which very few people know is the fact that 'penguins' are the reincarnation of certain priest and nuns who failed miserably in their task on earth (that's why they have no fear of humans) so they have now been banished to live half their lives in water! Dispatched to the coldest regions of earth, living almost exclusively in the southern hemisphere, especially in Antarctica! Being shamed they have be given the face of clumsy flightless birds! Their vestigial wings have become flippers, useless for flight in the air, but helps them in the water! In another form of punishment they have been reduced to either waddle on their feet or slide on their bellies across the snow! (Please be reminded ...where you are reading this)!!!.

    Bonsoir, mon Cher Ami !

    Il n'y a pas de pingouins dans l'Antarctique, si j'ai bien compris !

    Seulement des manchots empereurs...

    Il y a aussi des rosbifs !
