Scientists studying the mating habits of Penguins in Antarctica announced today that contrary to popular belief, Penguins are not in any way gay, but they may be a little bit curious.
Ronald Herrington, who was in charge of the study which was partially funded by the popular Gay and Lesbian lifestyle magazine, Out, talked to us by phone and told us what made them come to this conclusion, “We were out there for about three months, during the height of Penguin mating season, and we viewed, give or take, about thirty thousand penguins coupling. After awhile the female will lay an egg, take one look at it and decide that she really has no idea what she got herself into, either she thinks that she’s to young to be a mother or she still has some wild oats to sow, whatever it is, she gets the hell out of there and leaves sole custody to the male.
Now, imagine you’re a male penguin, you have just been handed an egg with your son or daughter growing inside it. You’re confused, scared and your heart has been broken, I ask you, what would you do? Well, in the case of the Arctic Penguin, they turn to their best friend who, ironically, had the exact same thing happen to them.
To make matters worse, the ex girlfriend left them during the coldest part of winter, As a matter of fact, every other guy penguins girl did this to their boyfriends as well….it’s nothing but penguin dick for as far as the eye can see. It, sucks.
The only place for this guy penguin to hang out is down at the ice reef, where all the other guys are. Now remember, it’s freakin freezing out there, so all these guys clump together for warmth. There you all are, a pathetic bunch huddled together to protect each other from the environment, and it could be like this from anywhere to one month to a whopping three. During this time, it is only natural for these guys to experiment a little….. Shit, I was here with four other guys for three months studying the exact same thing I kinda was going through. I’m not saying we got all gay or anything but Tommy, our helicopter pilot, sure did try enough times to get some gayness going on.
Eventually, all the women penguins come crying back, fatter and with a lot more fur. Some of the guys listen to their sob stories and take them back, but others don’t. The ones that don’t take them back found, we think, that they were happiest with whichever guy they hooked up with. They didn’t know they were gay, but now they sure as hell are more comfy because of it. It happened to Tommy, it sure does happen to penguins.
Many in the scientific community are disputing Mr. Herringtons findings, saying that he has no idea what he’s talking about.
