Phil Meloy Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Zoo tempts gay penguins to go straight Ananova.com A German zoo has imported four female penguins from Sweden in an effort to tempt its gay penguins to go straight. The four Swedish females were dispatched to the Bremerhaven Zoo in Bremen after it was found that three of the zoo's five penguin pairs were homosexual. Keepers at the zoo ordered DNA tests to be carried out on the penguins after they had been mating for years without producing any chicks. It was only then they realised that six of the birds were living in homosexual partnerships. Director Heike Kueck said that the zoo hoped to see some baby penguins in the coming months. She said that the birds had been mating for years and one couple even adopted a stone that they protected like an egg. Kueck said that the project has the support of the European Endangered Species Programme because the penguins, which are native to South America, are an endangered species. A biologist will be on hand to monitor the experiment. But introducing the Bremerhaven penguins to their new Swedish friends may not be as successful as hoped after earlier experiments revealed great difficulties in separating homosexual couples. In case they show no interest, the zoo has also flown in two new male penguins "so that the ladies don't miss out altogether", Kueck added. Quote
RDK Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 I think what those gay birds really need is a good adoption lawyer... Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 I think the solution would be to simply dress the fairer half in ball gowns and corsages. Quote
Phil Meloy Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Posted February 9, 2005 Maybe all those states in the US that are so worried about gay marriage should just import thousands of females from Sweden. Quote
DTMX Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Bob, the lone straight male, kept a lookout for the newly-arriving females. Quote
DTMX Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Dude - I'm telling you for the last time: when I complimented your tuxedo, I wasn't coming on to you! Quote
Uncle Skid Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Maybe all those states in the US that are so worried about gay marriage should just import thousands of females from Sweden. Well, since I live in one of those uptight states that passed a gay-marriage ban, I hereby officially reserve the Swedish Bikini Team for all board members who are Michigan residents! Chuck, Jim, Joe, Randy, Bill, and Greg, please let me know where to send yours! * and don't worry Paul (conn), you live close enough to Michigan, so we won't forget about you! Quote
jazzypaul Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 did I mention that Michigan is seeming nicer and nicer everyday? Quote
