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. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
