      XPost: misc.news.internet.discuss       From: here@is.invalid              A Mexican newspaper reports that bored Royal Air Force pilots       stationed on the Falkland Islands have devised what they consider a       marvelous new game. Noting that the local penguins are fascinated by       airplanes, the pilots search out a beach where the birds are gathered       and fly slowly along it at the water's edge. Perhaps ten thousand       penguins turn their heads in unison watching the planes go by, and       when the pilots turn around and fly back, the birds turn their heads       in the opposite direction, like spectators at a slow-motion tennis       match. Then, the paper reports "The pilots fly out to sea and       directly to the penguin colony and overfly it. Heads go up, up, up,       and ten thousand penguins fall over gently onto their backs.        -- Audobon Society Magazine              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
