Bruce Hobbs sent me this clipping, which I thought would be enjoyed by all
who are swayed by any "recent announcement", regardless of the source.

From the Audubon Society Magazine:

"A Mexican newspaper reports that bored Royal Air Force pilots stationed on
the Falkland Islands have devised what they consider a marvelous new game.
Noting that the local penguins are fascinated by airplanes, the pilots
search out a beach where the birds are gathered and fly slowly along it at
the water's edge. Perhaps ten thousand penguins turn their heads in unison
watching the planes go by, and when the pilots turn around and fly back,
the birds turn their heads in the opposite direction, like spectators at a
slow-motion tennis match. Then, the paper reports, "The pilots fly out to
sea and directly to the penguin colony and over fly it.  Heads go up, up,
up, and ten thousand penguins fall over gently onto their backs."

This is a refreshingly new approach to the old-and-tired lemming metaphor.
