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

It is 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 around the fresh grave and sing:






"Freeze a jolly good fellow..."l:)l:)l:)

I always thought they went to Mario Lemieuxs' house.:confused:

A man went to his dentist because he feels something wrong in his mouth. The dentist examines him and says, "that new upper plate I put in for you six months ago is eroding. What have you been eating?"

The man replies, "all I can think of is that about four months ago my wife made some asparagus and put some stuff on it that was delicious...Hollandaise sauce. I loved it so much I now put it on everything --- meat, toast, fish, vegtables, everything."

"Well," says the dentist, "that's probably the problem. Hollandaise sauce is made with lots of lemon juice, which is highly corrosive. It's eaten away your upper plate. I'll make you a new plate, and this time use chrome." "Why chrome?" asks the patient.

To which the dentist replies, "It's simple.







Everyone knows that there's no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise!"

Polar bears = Arctic (North Pole)
Penguins = Antarctic (South Pole)

Never the twain shall meet, except maybe at the zoo.....

Lots of penguins get eaten by killer whales (orcas) and some by sharks, but they are safe on land because there are no large land predators in the Antarctic (aside from man).

A penguin was driving through the desert when her car broke down. She waddled to
the nearest phone to call AAA. Her car was quickly towed to the nearest garage
where the mechanic told her he would need a couple of hours to check things out.

The penguin, being a good natured bird, didn't complain, and then wandered off to
find the closest supermarket. She proceeded to the frozen foods section and hung
out near the fish sticks. After a while she got into the freezer, next to the vanilla ice
cream, and ate her fill. Then she noticed the time and headed back to the
garage, covered with ice cream.

The mechanic walked over to her, wiping his hands
and shaking his head, and said, "It looks like you blew a seal."

Blushing, the penguin replied, "Oh no! It's just ice cream."

I didnt either. I always thought polar bears were a predator to penguins.

The joke was actually quite funny.:)

Penguin facts: The penguin doesn't live in north America,europe or asia.
The northern most colony is in the GALAPAGOS islands. The reason is because of the HOMBOLDT CURRENT that brings very cold water to the islands. Just in case you were wondering. :D

There probably were penguins in the arctic at one time. The picture would explain why there are none left up there now!:D

Well, what did you expect when you signed Hossa....he brings a playoff jinx to every team he played for.

Chicago fans have a long drought coming...:(

Wouldn't that be a whole world away? I mean how could be any farther and still be on the same planet? ;)

"a whole world away" would be on a different planet.
they are half a world apart.

I believe it whole-heartedly. Chicago had a good team going 'til they signed and overpayed for that piece of......well, you catch my drift :angry:
