Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica
- where do they go?

Wonder no more! It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird
which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very
committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of
compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.

If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family
and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial
wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled
into and buried.

The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:

"Freeze a jolly good fellow"

"Freeze a jolly good fellow."

"Then they kick him in the ice hole."
 
In Canada, we do the same with old hockey players.
