Here's some oddball news of the day, sure to put a smile on your face haha.
My favorite is the first one -- a penguin who jumps on a snow lion's back.
Penguins are my favorite animal (as many of my friends know who gave me penguin necklaces, penguin socks and penguin nail files for Christmas haha). So, when I saw this, I just had to share it.
This penguin was definitely in a bad situation that could have ended badly. The penguin narrowly missed a bite on the tush by an angry and tired sea lion five times its size.
The penguin mistook the sea lion for a rock...well, until the sea lion started moving, that is.
This penguin is like all of us. We all make mistakes, do things before thinking about it first. But, in order to survive in this world, we just need to keep moving forward and not look back at our mistakes. And, in the mean time, maybe we can keep others from making the same mistakes as we have. Because hey, if others see you jump on a sea lion's back, they sure won't make the same mistake. Maybe that's the point of making mistakes -- to use those lessons to help those around you.
Afterall, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

The first thing I thought of when I read this was a video I saw on youtube:

A penguin is in the water trying to swim away from a few killer whales. It jumps out of the water and changes direction because big whales have a hard time turning. Eventually the penguin jumps out of the water and into the boat where the camera crew was filming and it just looks around at the people like "hey, im just gonna chill here, k thx."
It certainly feels good to catch a break from time to time.
