Old Penguin Times 29/30 April 2007

This is a little idea of mine.

Well, explanations first. I am thinking of creating a new category kind of post, which are, newspaper spin offs with totally fictional articles written by me, but using the alter ego of Pa the penguin as chief editor, Po the penguin as journalist, Pi the penguin as photojournalist, and Pu the penguin also as a journalist.

What category kind of posts? Currently in my blog, there are many categories of posts.

They include Professor Leslie posts, emo posts ( inactive for very long time ), stories post ( dead for very long time ), philosophical posts ( also dead for long time ) and reviews post ( currently half dead ).

And this, shall be the newest kind of posts. Spin-off articles. By Penguins.

I reserve all rights.

Disclaimer : The below article contains fictitious stuff. Some of the information are proven to be untrue, but are still published anyway because of the writer's ignorance. Writer cannot guarantee they might not be true though. But however, it is advised not to attempt any stupid thing yourself after reading it until it is proven true. Then we know I am a genius.

Potatoes as Aphrodisiacs?

Article by : Po the penguin

That's right. You did not read wrongly. A team of scientists at South Pole University has recently done experiments on potatoes for its remedial qualities, but instead found themselves getting high and horny after overexposure to the potatoes. Upon realizing it, they immediately did research to find out why, and the result was that a chemical in potatoes, is able to stimulate the penguin mind to have many many chicks.

"Basically, everybody wants to have sex because of our genes and hormones. Biologically, we have a system in our body that encourages us to have babies and to ensure a thriving future generations that are equally horny." said Professor Poo Poo, the leader of the team of scientists.

"We see a female and we get turned on by her because we think she is fertile and healthy enough to born a healthy chick egg for us, and thus ensuring that chicks born are of top quality. You don't see penguins falling head over heels for a matchstick thin penguin." He continued.

Potatoes have been found not to be consumed by any penguins all along. However, a penguin actually trying to eat one might find itself getting horny for eggs and have sudden bouts of diarrhea. "The price of good sex.." Poo Poo joked.

With this scientific breakthrough, penguins with no more sex drive might soon be happier birds, Poo Poo asserted.



Fish the possible cure for cancer?

Article by : Pu the penguin

With rising fear of cancer as the number one killer among prawns ( prawns have cancer??? ), a team of penguin scientists began wondering why fishes and other marine lifeforms that feed on prawns do not develop cancer and die.

It is hypothesized that fishes have a natural oil, dubbed as fish oil, or scientifically known as Gamma oil.

Researchers say that the Gamma oil emits Gamma rays in small and insignificant amount that cannot actually cause any noticeable damage to any lifeforms. Therefore, scientists say that if eaten excessively, this Gamma oil can kill the cancerous cells. And the penguin that eats it.

"We believe moderation is the key to success here.." a scientist who declined to be named commented. It said that as cancerous cells exist as individual mutant cells, with no complex systems like a penguin, killing it is much easier than killing a penguin.



Panguana to label caterpillars as penguin's best friends

Abbott Poo Poo, the most respected Elder and leader of the Penguinic faith, Panguana, announced yesterday during fish festival that caterpillars are penguin's best friends.

According to Abbott Poo Poo, "Caterpillars have long been described as a sacred insect among Penguins. It is said so by the once Great Guin, Guiness, that caterpillars can greatly boost a penguin's luck to get mated as they look sexy. Besides that, caterpillars also played a major role during Guiness' time in the great war for fish against the polar bears, who lost terribly and were cast to the other side of the world to starve by the Great Guin. The caterpillars actually made the polar bears slip and fall down, but alas they were squashed beyond recognition. Those brave caterpillars sacrificed themselves for the Greater Good!"

The only problem around here is, since the world was divided into eighteen major continents, caterpillars are no more found in South Pole, or better known as Penguinland.
