I never knew this.


Penguins



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 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, 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 ice hole."


You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?

It's so easy to fool OLD people.

I am sorry, the devil made me do it!!!

I fell for it too.
