Did you ever won­­der why there are no dead peng­uins on the ice in Ant­arctica - where do they go?

Wonder no more. It's 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 maintaining 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 round the fresh grave and sing, with bagpipe accompaniment, if available: 

     "Freeze a jolly good fellow" 

     "Freeze a jolly good fellow."

Then they kick him into the hole.

You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, did you? It's so easy to fool another OLD person!
