Chapter 78.3: That's Sir Penguin to You

I've heard of emperor penguins, but this is a different kettle of fish altogether. Apparently, a king penguin that lives at the Edinburgh Zoo and serves as mascot for the Norwegian King's Guard, has been knighted. (Love the photo!)

According to the zoo, there have been three penguins named Nils Olav — after the the lieutenant who selected the mascot (Nils Egelian) and the then-king of Norway, Olav V — and these birds have gradually swum up the ranks, culminating in a knighthood today.

I'm aware of Caligula's reverance for his horse, Incitatus, who a famous Roman historian claimed was to be named a consul of Rome (though the legend was that the horse was named to the Senate). If a penguin can be knighted and Leona Helmsley's dog, Lucky, could get $12 million in a will, perhaps Caligula wasn't as crazy as he's reputed to have been.
