| PENGUIN QUOTES, POEMS AND JOKES! |
| Penguins: 3, Scientists: 0 I was once told a wonderful story about penguins in Antarctica. I worked for a while at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and there were several researchers who had spent time down there. One claimed that penguins are very imitative. They used to watch the researchers play football on the landing field in front of the quonset huts that made up the station. One day the scientists came out to discover that the penguins had taken the field. They would line up in two rough groups, and then start squawking and running around bumping into each other. After a bit of this, they would pick themselves up, and start the process all over again. They hadn't quite got the idea that a ball was important to the process, but they kept at it for some time. The sight was so ridiculous, that everyone was ROTIL (rolling on the ice, laughing). No one at the station could get a football game together after that, because everyone felt too silly after seeing what the penguins looked like. The fellow who relayed this story claims that he can't watch football on the tube to this day. Every time they have a wide shot of the teams going at it, all he can see is those penguins squawking and knocking each other down. After hearing this story, I have the same problem. --Doug White <dwwhite@ix.netcom.com> in alt.folklore.urban |
