Funny penguin story!

Sometime earlier this year, there was a story about British fighter planes patrolling around the Falkland islands. The penguin colonies that live on those islands are so mesmorized by jets that they'll stop whatever they're doing and watch. Well, the pilots have fun with this by first passing near the penguins to get their attention and then by circling around again and flying directly overhead of the penguins. The penguins are so entranced that they'll actually plop over backwards while looking up at the planes which results in hundreds of penguins falling over in succession like dominoes. The pilots call it "penguin bowling."

lol
