That's right. You read that correctly. Flying penguins.
Ain't it cool? Here, I'll say it again because I love putting those two words together: Flying penguins.

The Telegraph reports on an upcoming BBC program, Miracles of Evolution:
A couple of things do strike me suspiciously, namely Terry Jones and the date. To the one, do Brits have April Fool's? (Really, I don't know the answer to that question.) And, to the other, the Beeb would appear to be playing along if this was a joke, noting that the Mirror is running pictures on its front page. Of course, that means the Mirror would likely be in on it, too.
So, yeah, this seems kind of real.
So how cool is that? Penguin dreams and stranger things, indeed.

The Telegraph reports on an upcoming BBC program, Miracles of Evolution:
The programme is being presented by ex-Monty Python star Terry Jones, who said: "We'd been watching the penguins and filming them for days, without a hint of what was to come.
"But then the weather took a turn for the worse. It was quite amazing. Rather than getting together in a huddle to protect themselves from the cold, they did something quite unexpected, that no other penguins can do."
