Apparently a gang made off with a penguin from Dublin zoo at about 8am this morning. Perhaps they couldn't figure out how to cook it (Hippie's never eaten penguin, but always open to trying something new), or perhaps even pluck it, but either way, it found itself abandoned on the sedate streets of North Dublin. (Ok, they might not have been the sedate streets, but the North side of Dublin does have some nicer areas than the South side, albeit with some streets where caution is still advisable.)
What's fascinating about this apprehension is the Irish idea of security measures: "The penguin went missing this morning at 8am but due to the security measures that are in place at Dublin Zoo and the rapid response of gardai, the penguin was soon recovered and returned." Was this really due to the security measures in place? (the gang did get out of the zoo with a penguin!) and the rapid response of gardai? (it took several hours to find a bird not normally native to the streets of the North side of Dublin) or more to do with the gang not knowing how to keep or cook a penguin? (Hippie thinks so).
