left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Harry and Pepper, a pair of Magellanic penguins, started nesting together in 2003 and incubated an egg last year.
However, zoo keepers confirmed in early July that Harry has been nesting with a female penguin, Linda, for several months, said a report in the San Francisco Examiner.

Just means guy penguins will screw anything that moves.
Anyway, doesn't change my view that gays should be allowed to marry.

The majority of these gay penguins were forced into "gay relationships" because there were not females available for them to mate with. They were never truly gay, just "prison gay."

All this proves is that penguins like having a buddy to spend time with if there's no chicks (no pun intended) around. Just like the rest of us. :)

Never trust a penguin named Linda. They are always nest-wrecking hussies.
Harry's going to regret leaving the best thing he's ever had. Just you watch.

Our neutered male cat raised an orphaned kitten, teaching the little male how to clean himself and use the litter box. He also tried real hard to mate with our un-spayed female when she went into heat before we could get her to the vet's.
Animals will be animals...if we allow them to be, and quit the stupid anthropomorphizing.

That nest-wrecker Linda! She's already left one man before to be with Fig, (now deceased... maybe she murdered him to be with Harry!) What makes Harry think she would not do the same to him?
Now poor Pepper is all depressed and lonely, but when Linda leaves Harry for someone else it will be his time to glow. That Harry is going to be sorry he fell into Linda- the Tramp- trap. It will serve him well.

lorena, too funny!!!
It only takes one "Fag Hag" and a horny bisexual male, who appears to be totally gay, to bring down the house (nest)! Joke, joke, nothing but a joke! LOL! I love it!

Penguins change their minds and have affairs like humans do. It's only shocking if you regard us as significantly different than the rest of the animal world, which we are not.

They probably partnered up out of lonlieness in the first place, then a female shows up and he's gone like a bat out of hell, giving credence to the prison gay concept.

Maybe they prefer being seperated in to boys and girls, like the junior high school prom?
