OT: (sorta) Penguin Trivia

[Eric Shubert]

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in 
Antarctica - Where do they go?
Well, wonder no more!!!

It's a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird who lives 
an extremely ordered and complex life.
Also, the penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for 
life, as well as maintaining 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.  They'll dig until the hole is deep 
enough for the dead bird to be rolled in and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and 
they sing..........."Freeze a jolly good fellow."

Then they kick him in the ice hole.
