Oh you mean having access to the best possible education and not being hungry at school gets you ahead of where students normally are?

lmao on the edinburgh zoo site it says “there is a daily penguin parade at 14:15 but it may be cancelled last minute as it is a voulntary parade, we do not coax the penguins with food, and they may not want to go out” lmao anarchopenguinism

this is the cutest goddamn thing i’ve ever heard

I saw the penguin parade. It was a very slow parade, because the pingüinos take their sweet time and aren’t very fast walkers to begin with.

can I volunteer to be a penguin

[commander-damneron]

I feel like the world needs to know the context of the edinburgh zoo penguin parade, becausr I’ve been going there my entire life and I only found out about this the other year.

So a while back (I can’t remember exactly when but I think it was some time around the 40s/50s), a bunch of penguins escaped. A keeper left the gate open so a bunch of penguins just… followed them. And the people loved it. Look at these adorable birds outside their cage just following that guy around! So they get all the penguins back inside and realise that none of them really ran off, they just followed the keeper and went back inside and crowd thought it was amazing, so why not make it a regular thing? Get enough people there that if one of them goes to make a run for it (which at least one has in the past), they can’t get past the people, and let the ones who want outside have a little wander. So every day, they get a crowd, they open the gate, and whatever penguins want to get out can go, waddle about, squawk at people, and then hop back inside.

Also, one of those penguins is Brigadier Sir Nils Olaf III, Colonel-in-cheif of the Norwegian King’s Guard. This isn’t really related to the parade at all, I just love the fact that there’s a penguin in the Norwegian army

so i had to look up this penguin in the norwegian army to find out WHY there’s a penguin in the norwegian army and so, some choice info from his wikipedia page:

in 1913 norway gave the edinburgh zoo its first king penguin

in 1972 the norwegian kings guard visited edinburgh for a drill display, and adopted a king penguin. the penguin had not done anything special, penguins were not meaningful to this regiment, they just wanted a penguin. so they got a penguin. they named him after the man who had this idea, nils egelien, and the at-the-time king of norway, olav v

the penguin pictured is nils olav iii, as the original penguin adopted in 1972 is no longer with us

each time the kings guard visit the zoo he gets promoted. he started as a lance corporal and is now a brigadier

when he was knighted a citation from the king described him as a penguin “in every way qualified to receive the honour and dignity of knighthood”

nils is the only knighted penguin in the world, and the only knight of norway
