I am now going explain one of the World's greatest mysteries.

The connection Batman and the Catholic Religion.

As we all know the " Penguin" was a character in the Batman series of find.

Nuns were also known jokingly as Penguins by convent school pupils.

Nuns when they die , turn into bats , the night flying variety.

Batman came about when a bat bit a bloke one night .

You can now clearly see the connection between Batman and organised religion.

Inuit , they have penguins as pets.

There's a lot of penguin talk in this thread, ad maybe I've missed something but eh...penguins don't exist naturally in the same region as the Inuit. Polar bears in the Arctic, penguins in Antarctica (and a few other bits of the southern hemisphere).

('Arctic' comes from the Greek for 'bear'. 'Antarctic' means 'no bears'.)

Anyway, I'm with the OP. I've always been a fan of Iceland, and eventually got there eight years ago. I'd go back if I were any good at going on holidays...

Was there no Irish nationality between 1800 and 1921?

IIRC you just need a good wick in their mouth.
They are naturally oily.

So much wrong with this!

Eskimos, as they prefer to be known, do not keep penguins as pets. They use them as fuel due to their high combustibility.

In fact 9/10 igloos being burned down are due to penguin fires being left unattended.

I think they burn whale and seal oil.

Well, we do live on the British Isles... (isn't it funny how the most Northern part of Ireland is in the South?)

Canadian or Welsh, both are good craic

24-03-2019 10:00AM

Dutch. I've never met one that wasn't lovely or good craic. I'd want to be a few inches taller, though. They're the tallest nation I believe.

ToddyDoody · 24-03-2019 10:16AM

I'd say American. No end of entertainment.

I love the way modesty is considered unamerican.

Avatar MIA · 24-03-2019 10:16AM

Europeanish.

Oh wait, this is still early in the 21st. Erm, in that case British. Just for the novelty.

I'm not an Eskimo with easy access to herds of penguins. By all the accounts I read by people called Nanuck, and the like, they are nature's firelighters.

Duckworth_Luas wrote: »

Global warming has meant that it's now too expensive to make igloos from ice. Instead they have to use petrol soaked plastic boxes, the ones that were previously used to ship dynamite.

I'm worried about the people wanting to go live in Iceland , why would you want to live in a supermarket ?

I'd be Antarctican.

Some say-British by birth,English by the grace of God.
But I find being English a bit embarrassing as so many countries don't like the English.

I’d say people voting for the Dutch have most likely never lived there.

Did 7 years. Dutch society is pretty boring and rigid.
More conservative than you’d expect. Look at Sinterklass and having a monarchy.
Social life is mostly going to houses and Dutch birthday “parties” are truly one of the worst experiences you could go through.
