Sir Penguin
Via Hilzoy, this BBC video of a penguin, Nils Olav, being knighted -- yes, knighted, really -- at the Edinburgh Zoo is about as delightful as anything you'll find on the web. Watch it for the sheer joy of it -- to say nothing of Sir Olav's incredible dignity and poise as those strange primates did whatever they were doing.

I imagine a penguin might be excused the ritual bath, but how did he accomplish the vigil, swear the oaths and all that?
