P-p-p-pick up a Penguin!

It's been an interesting week or so for weird charity knitting stories, and here is the latest one I've stumbled across: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wear/6367787.stm

A group of ladies in Seaham, Co. Durham have knit over 50 tank tops for Fairy Penguins in Australia. It seems that the penguins get regularly dunked in oil from 'passing' oil slicks. Their feathers can no longer keep them warm, because of the 'orrible, greasy, black stuff, so the jumpers do the job nicely.

And, no I don't mean 'tanker tops' :-) because they're what's causing the problem in the first place. The BF, however, got the wrong end of the stick: "But won't the chocolate melt?"

Everyday he gives me these little insights into the way his mind works...
