Flying Penguins?

I have to admit that my ideas about penguins have shifted radically in the last few years. Yes, I used to think of them as short, waddling & cuddly, something to curl up next to on a chilly Antarctic evening but all that has changed.

My world was first rocked when I discovered that some of the are gay! [+ see: The Reverend Rod Robinson on The Gay Penguin Conspiracy]. Now, those penguin waddles appear a bit more mincing (put a handbag on one of their flippers and give him a pearl necklace and you'll see what I mean!) and all thought of cuddling up with them has...flown out the window!

Speaking of flying, then comes this startling video from the BBC - fronted by former Monty Python member, Terry Jones - that, can you believe it? - captures penguins flying!

Now I shall have to go to sleep tonight fearing that hordes of homosexual penguins may fly through my window and throw a debauched shindig in my bedroom - scary stuff, I think you'll agree!

Zzzzzz.
