Unreal!! (cept 4 the Darwin part)
You realize it’s probably an April Fools joke, right?
The BBC will today screen remarkable footage of penguins flying as part of its new natural history series, Miracles of Evolution.
I think this belongs in the oxymoron thread. (Okay, all you rationalists, jump all over me.)
Check the date …
Check the date …
So it’s 3 years old. It’s still remarkable.
” viewers will see the penguins not only take flight from the Antarctic wastes, but fly thousands of miles to the Amazonian rainforest to find winter sun.”
flying thousands of miles to bask in the TROPICAL SUN for the winter?!?! hmmmm… 😉
From infoplease how april fools day got started
In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar (the Gregorian Calendar) to replace the old Julian Calendar. The new calendar called for New Year’s Day to be celebrated Jan. 1. That year, France adopted the reformed calendar and shifted New Year’s day to Jan. 1. According to a popular explanation, many people either refused to accept the new date, or did not learn about it, and continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1. Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on “fool’s errands” or trying to trick them into believing something false. Eventually, the practice spread throughout Europe.
