Tokyo Zoo Adds Giant Penguin
Ant writes "This Yahoo! News story is amusing and cute: "Emperor penguins looked up in awe as Tokyo's main zoo unveiled its latest addition -- a giant penguin said to be suspiciously close in height and weight to a human... As the cameras rolled, the real penguins rose their beaks and gazed up at the purported Lord -- but then walked away disinterested when he took off his penguin face to reveal himself to be zoo director Teruyuki Komiya."
This is WAY off topic, but what the hell is up with this crazy flood of posts today? Something just doesn't seem right...

is it female? The /. community wants to know.

In protest of the April Fools insanity, I am replying to all news items with the following... Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
It says 'Don't fear the penguin' at the top.
Nothing for you to see here, please move along.
Dear cmdrtaco, please stop now. It's just not funny any more.
to switch to p0rn sites. they are less fake.
I'm going to get an email list of all of these topics. Why, god, why?
It's come to pass as foretold. Bidding for spots in my bunker and spare tin foil hats begin at a grand each, though money will be pretty useless once the Conquerer Penguin rules us all.
"Slashdot readers sick and tired of april fool's jokes" Seriously . .the first 64 times was funny
How long until we get a Teruyuki Linux? With a bigass fake penguin as their, oh wait... that mascot is taken.
...even if it is a real story of an April Fool's Joke.
Cute though.
Please, I beg you. It's not a single bit funny anymore. Plus over here in Europe it's already April, 2nd.
This is neither a April fools story nor in anyway a tech story.
STOP IT!

Ah, April Fools Day, when Slashdot turns into a geeky Fark for the day.
The giant penguin was subsequently eaten by Godzilla.
Liberals call everyone Nazis yet they are the closest thing to it.
What is the matter with you people? This story has been up for hours and there still isn't a overlord joke.
Do I have to do everything around here?
Please help metamoderate.
I have to say I am very disappointed with this news site. The tallest Penguin I've ever seen was 130cm tall, and weighed 34kg. Someone here really needs to do some research before posting stories that is a complete fraud. This is only my third time here, and all three times, the leading story simply wasn't true. Whatever happened to integrity?
Insightful.
It's not offtopic. It's a post about Tux! Is this in the Linux section?
I for one welcome our Giant Pengiun Overloads
Like close source you only think nobody will ever find the truth but really it's just a matter of time.
If you geneticly engenear a large penquin/man there'd be no costume to take off.
Now those real penguins are traumatized for life!!!
