Today Is...World Penguin Day

I did think at first that this was the chocolate biscuit penguins and who doesn't love them but then it was pointed out that it was the South Pole dwelling type penguins which are not quite so interesting.
Not that i have anything against the little fellas, it's just that apart from waddle, eat fish and swim, they don't really do much else so it's hard to write about appreciating them when they don't actually do anything to earn it.
I did Google Penguins to try and find out some facts about them but apart from pooping every 20 minutes and originating from Australia, even Google had a hard time picking out what they do, it was mostly the bad guy who harassed Batman which by the way is an awful example of not thinking through your persona before you launch into the world of crime.
Nobody has ever said i really want to be a criminal Penguin, there are far more birds which have a bit more going for them such as the Eagle or Vulture, a penguin can't even fly and being able to swim and eat a fish is hardly going to cause the law enforcement sleepless nights especially if every 20 minutes you are disappearing into a toilet with a newspaper under your arm.   
Probably the most famous penguin is Pingu and his adventures with his penguin chums Pingo, Pingg, Pongi, Pengy, Pingj, Punki and Pingi although one episode was banned due to Pingu urinating in public and the concern was that children would copy him and just whizz everywhere.
All in all, it's nice that they have a day for themselves i guess but i think i will stick with the ones that come in a wrapper and are covered in chocolate and small enough to be dunked in my tea mug thanks.
