Penguine Insanity?

Clearly something is wrong...conjecture runs the gamut. Metaphors darken the sky in their abundance:



via Althouse a Herzog piece labeled "But Why?"

Suicide inducing parasites?

Or just a desire for some time alone?

That tuxedoed enigma leaves us wondering as he wanders...

"tuxedo

man's evening dress for semiformal occasions, 1889, named for Tuxedo Park, N.Y., site of a country club where it first was worn in 1886.

"The Wolf tribe in New York was called in scorn by other Algonquians tuksit: round foot, implying that they easily fell down in surrender. In their region thus came the names Tuxedo and Tuxedo Lake, which were acquired by the Griswold family in payment of a debt. There the family established the exclusive Tuxedo Club, and there in the late 1880s Griswold Lorillard first appeared in a dinner jacket without tails, a tuxedo. By a twist of slang, one may now refer to a man in a tuxedo as a 'wolf." [Shipley]

But in another version of the story, p'tuksit was the Algonquian word for "wolf," the animal, perhaps from the shape of its paws. The more authoritative Bright, however, says the tribe's name probably is originally a place name, perhaps Munsee Delaware (Algonquian) p'tuck-sepo "crooked river." Short form tux is attested from 1922."

Perhaps they ought to test it.
