Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica?
Where do they all go?
Wonder no more! It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird
and lives an extremely ordered and complex life. Penguins are extremely
committed to their family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a
form of compassionate contact with their offspring throughout the remainder
of their life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family
and their social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using only
their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead
bird to be rolled into, and buried.
After packing the ice back in the hole, 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 ya?*
