LYCOS RETRIEVER 
The Penguins: Mating
built 629 days ago
Despite the unthinkable brouhaha of the mating songs, each penguin has recorded with great precision the "vocal signature" of his or her partner, and will be able to recognize this signature among thousands. By singing, a penguin gives his or her personal recognition "code," as well as his or her sexual desire to reproduce. Also, a singing bird prevents his immediate neighbors from singing at the same time. This protocol provides that each penguin take turns singing and ... avoid a total cacophony in the immediate vicinity.

"Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen an angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had."

Dootsie warned the Penguins that by breaking their contract with him, they would lose all royalties for the Dootone release of "Earth Angel." Their answer was "To hell with your royalties; we're gonna make it big." Although they lost out, who knows how much they lost? They might have gotten nothing much out of it anyway.

[M]ate these penguins must. And do. The footage is stunning, from the physical magnificence of the barren planet to the marvelous close ups of the penguins themselves. The journey of the empire penguin is engrossing material. The narration... is guilty of anthropomorphizing the penguins' single-minded devotion. What seems like love might be genetic programming at work.
