Penguin given knighthood by King of Norway

I like the way penguins walk

Its cute and funny.

what a way to waste tax dollars

Traditions are very important to military units, and certainly not a waste of money. This perticular tradition is about ww2, our relationship with britain, and the history that is associated with this ceremony.
It's not deadly serous off course, but important nontheless. And to people worrying about tax payers money, the homeless and the orphans: don't worry, Norway is one of the best places to live. We're rich, bitch!

Dollars?

Dollars? I Norway? Dollar is a very weak currency compared to the norwegian Krone! :)

Atten! HUT!

it is a tradition from that penguins "great great granddad" or whatever during WW2 when norwegian soldiers was stationed in scotland

Its true... There is also a statue of it in the camp.

WTF??????

I don't get it, this HAS to be a joke, a hoax or whatever (it is, right?) . I know Caligula made his horse a senator, but this shit goin' on in this century...kinda ridiculous
