2 Penguins are standing on an iceberg and one says to the other "You look like you're wearing a tuxedo."
The other penguin responds "What makes you so sure I'm not?"
Ok, so penguin humor isn't quite ..well...humorous, but there's not much to work with. The other night I went out to watch the film "March of the Penguins". It's a documentary done by National Geographic and narrated by Morgan Freeman. Yes, I was thinking the same thing; "Oh great, another movie where Freeman narrates and makes subtle philosophical methaphors a la Shawshank Redemption and Million Dollar Baby."
Not so this time. He basically told the facts of the story.
The film's purpose was to document the penguins' long and difficult breeding season in Antarctica. Emperor penguins, very large (as far as penguins go) and very interesting birds.
I wanted to go into detail about how it all goes down but just rent the movie when it goes to dvd. I will say that I am so amazed how those birds, not just survive, but overcome the harsh climate over the span of 8 months just to bring forth one offspring. How they bond as a pair and are able to recognize their mate in a sea of identical tuxedo wearing birds is impressive! When you see something like that you wonder what is behind it all? Is this just all genetic driven behavior that randomly "shook out in the wash" over millions of years? Or is this genetic driven behavior so specifically engineered that only a higher power could have designed it?
