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 maintain 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. |

Penguins are nature's comedians. During my time in Antarctica, I saw a penguin fall off an iceberg, another ran through the base towards the vehicle yard, and another one ran through the bast, fell on to the snow and tried to swim but didn't get anywhere. |

"My Word" said Sir Scott. "It was deplorable!! I don't want to even describe it." "Just take my word" said Tensig, the Everest guide brought to Antarctica because he knows snow. "I am just glad my dead daughters are not penguins!!" "It was horrible" said Ecclestone. "It was an issue of male dominance more terrible than the Schumacher/Ferrari years." |
