DAY 165: PENGUIN PEBBLES


That's rather a lovely thought.  Almost like an engagement ring!

I wondered how accurate this info is, so googled it and found the following:

Q) Is the story about penguins giving a pebble a true story? 
A) Yes this is a true story. When choosing a mate a penguin must find a perfect pebble to offer to their desired mate. If accepted, the penguins become monogamous mates for life. Even if separated by ice barges or storms they will stay true to their first accepted mate searching forever for them until found. This is the documented historical truth about penguins.

So, needless to say, someone saw the opportunity to make money out of it, and hey presto! we have a website where, for a price, you can order 'A PERFECT PENGUIN PEBBLE' as a romantic gift for your loved one.  You may also entertain wonderful thoughts that it įs a genuine 'penguin pebble' whatever that may mean - but hey, someone went and picked up an old pebble on the beach.

Hmmm, some peeps are truly gullible.........
