Confused Gay Penguins Attempt to Hatch Stones

This is one of the funniest thing I've ever read. Imagine people calling in to protest the move of a zoo wanting to add female penguins in an already all male penguin in a zoo pen fearing that male penguins might become straight. I laughed outloud reading this. Fearing that male penguins might become straight?? Really nutty people to even bother protesting. But they do anyway. Put the female penguins in and see how it turns out. I'd be interested in seeing the results. But noooooooooooooooooooooooo......not according to the gay and lesbian community who fear that these supposedly "gay" penguins may become "straight." Gasppp! The horror!! Oh fer cryin outloud! Lighten up people. Heck, these penguins might turn out to be the "bi-curious" kinds or even bi-sexual. I supposed they are against that? Or maybe these male penguins really are straight and they are just simply a confused bunch of penguins just like being in an all-male prison population where you have no females to cavort with. Just don't reach for that soap, yet.

These male penguins are certainly confused if they go around trying to hatch a stone. It's an innate response since it's the father who keeps the egg warm first until it hatches and keeps the chick warm, too. The mother go out and "feed up". The father "incubate" the eggs and doesn't eat until the female penguin returns (after 6 or 7 weeks). Male and female penguins mate for life. Of course, you still get your gay penguins in an already female and male penguin population. This has been observed in zoos and in the wild that have a mixed population of female and male penguins. And if this is the case, why protest in the first place?

These people who protested the zoo's decision are absolutely nuts. Sorry. They're not thinking with a full deck of cards here in this instance when all the zoo wants to do is add female penguins to already all-male penguin society...in a closed pen. What's next? Demand that zoos put all female penguins in a separate pen, too?

The is the same level of ludicrous on the belief that a live lobster scream in pain when put in a pot of boiling water. Sure, yeah. A lobster screaming underwater. A lobster can't scream, it's impossible. The lobster does not have a vocal cord. And a lobster has a very primative nervous system. So, pain is not an issue.

The "gay penguin" protest is also on the same level of laughability when a woman complained who was offended that a cop was eating a banana when a bus full load of people who were coming to attend Rev. Jackson civil rights appearance. An why was she offended? She took the officer's banana eating to imply an analogous racial slur relating black people to apes. Oh please, the woman needs psychiatric help.

Funny how these people are sometimes. And how they whine and complain in the most obtuse and dense way.

And, oh, btw people, don't read too much into the title of my blog piece as well as my written blog, too. Don't want to come off looking like a whiner. Well, you probably are anyway.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A plan by a German zoo to test the sexual appetites of a group of suspected homosexual penguins has sparked outrage among gay and lesbian groups, who fear zookeepers might force them to turn straight.

"All sorts of gay and lesbian associations have been e-mailing and calling in to protest," said a spokesman for the zoo in the northwestern city of Bremerhaven on Friday.

He said the zoo concluded the penguins might be gay after seeing male penguins trying to mate with other males and trying to hatch offspring out of stones.

German media reported that female Swedish penguins would be brought to the zoo to test the theory, but when word got out about the plan, the phones started ringing.

"Nobody here is trying to break-up same sex pairs by force," the zoo's director Heike Kueck told public broadcaster NDR. "We don't know if the three male pairs are really gay or just got together because of a lack of females."
