Think of the penguins...

We clearly don't do that often enough...

Keepers at Germany's Bremerhaven zoo couldn't get two penguin parents to take care of their egg, so they're trying an experiment — they gave the egg to a gay male penguin couple.

Must be a "one off".

The male penguins, named Z and Vielpunkt, are one of three same-sex pairs of Humboldt penguins at the zoo. That means almost a third of the zoo's 20 penguins who have attempted to mate exhibit homosexual behaviour. Same-sex penguin pairs have also been observed at zoos in Japan and New York.

My gawd... they're everywhere. Thank the FSM my neighbour isn't a penguin.

A children's book written about the New York penguins called And Tango Makes Three has been the book with the most requests for removal from libraries in the United States over the past three years, according the American Library Association.

Because nobody like penguins.

Z, Vielpunkt and their adopted chick have proven a hit with visitors to the Bremerhaven zoo.

But dammit! There's no friggin' way I'm letting those two get married. They will so destroy the institution of marriage as defined by the Roman Catholic Church.

They, after all, are animals. We're not.
