I'm not sure if you're chastising all penguins...or just the ones that are ambitious?! And how does the penguin with the biggest nest act in public? defiant? subdued? How about the penguin with a huge nest, and also married?! Is the penguin with no stones in her nest highly sought after as being highly virtuous? or is she highly sought after for being an immature slut?! I can picture it: "Laura! I see you've added 21 new stones to your nest! And how was your day, honey!?! Oh! and have you seen Bill? I sent him out for groceries."

)"In February, Cambridge (England) University researcher Fiona Hunter, who has studied penguins' mating habits for five years, reported that some females apparently allow male strangers to mate with them in exchange for a few nest-building stones, thus participating in what Hunter believes is the first observed animal prostitution. According to Dr. Hunter, all activity is done behind the back of the female's regular mate, and in a few instances, after the sex act, the johns may give the females additional stones as sort of a tip." anyone who spent 5 years studying birds in the antartic is suspect to me. fiona be damned, the penguins were just trying to keep warm. the stones are irreverent. if i lived down there i'd grab a stranger too. foxy
