Penguins Disappearing From Southern Hemisphere
The Scotsman is running a piece looking at the mysterious disappearance of penguins from all around the world. A biologist who studies the rockhopper penguin characterizes the population crash as 'sinister', as scientists are still baffled as to why almost 30% of the birds have vanished. From the article: "Grant Munro, the director of Falklands Conservation, said there were fears that rockhoppers might become extinct. 'If the present situation were to carry on then it's not a particularly great forecast. It doesn't look like they are suddenly going to start increasing in numbers ... In the Falklands, they are part of everyday life. If you head down to the beach you are going to see penguins.'"

Microsoft must be behind of all of this. Who else would like to see cute little penguins to disappear from the world.

Obviously too many penguins have been reading this book...
If Penguins were featherless, covered in oozing mucous, constantly moaned in pain and had soulless empty sockets where their eyes should be we wouldn't care if they disappeared from the earth or not.
This would make more sense if it were dolphins!
and they will appear on the desktops all over the world!
less is more
My new company KFP is going to put KFC out of business. I was just hoping that no one would notice the population drop until I was ready to go international.
Fuck a chicken wing, penguin wings is the future.

Penguins are not just cute. They're delicious too.

Just like the T-Rex, the reason they disappear is because they can't break their fall. No arms, no way to save them self. Well, the T-Rex had arms, but they where to short to do any difference.
They've been honing their plan for total world domination for years while lulling people into a false sense of security by appearing cute and harmless cratures who just want to fish and frolic. Well, their plans are now complete and what appears as a mysterious disappearance of penguins is simply the beginning of the great penguin war.
They are assembling an invincible penguin army deep in the secret caves under Antarctica. That's where all the penguins went.
The owls are not what they seem
Penguins are for life guys, not just for Christmas. Make sure the person you're giving one to really wants a penguin, and has the time to care for one.
They are just going into hiding. They have a secret lair under the ice where they will wait out global warming, patiently sharpening their tools, for they know that when the icecaps melt and humanity is thrown into chaos, that's when their day will come.
And I, for one, will welcome our Eudyptulan overlords!
As I have been sayig for years, "The Fundogelicals have it wrong. "It is not the people, but the penguin who will be Raptured.
