"THE FIRST AND THE LAST WORDS OUT OF YOUR MOUTH WILL BE SIR!"

A penguin who was previously made a Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian Army has been knighted at Edinburgh Zoo.

There's a video in the top link showing his knighting, and unsurprisingly he's not impressed with the sword. Or the guardsmen he's inspecting. He arcs up at one of them, who probably isn't sucking his gut in enough. I love the commentator stumbling at just the moment of "that you are, as a- as a penguin, in all ways qualified-." Nils Olav is is a KNIGHT. You address this King Penguin as SIR. But more importantly NORWAY IS BUILDING A PENGUIN ARMY.

Yeah, I totally control the course of history. Me and the Norwegian King are tight like that. Just you wait till the dinosaurs show up.
