Whilst feeding my son breakfast this morning and watching Pingu, I was struck by a simple question:

If all of the houses in Pingu-land (which is a barren ice and snow filled post apocalyptic wasteland) have wooden doors, and they ride around on sleds made of wood, where does all the wood come from?

let alone the fact that the igloos are 8 times the size inside that they are outside

sneaky timespace warping penguins

obviously they have either chopped all the trees down for the wood! Duh or they have a good import/export system where they export fish? and import wood?

Not sure how in depth the producers would need to go to really teach the kids the importance of good international relations......

Perhaps a bit much?? ๐Ÿ˜†

and in a similar vein, we were watching some wildlife program where polar bears were cruising around pretending to be mini ice burghs to sneak up on unsuspecting seals

now i suggested that they would need acting lessons to perfect this skill

i then suggested that the lesson would go something like:

'I want you to pretend to be a tree blowing in the wind'

'what the **** is a tree'

maybe they have traded their timespace warping skills with the british antarctic survey for such things as paint and TVs?

Tss doesn't take a genius to know the answer of that. Obviously the Dr made the house/sledge for the penguin.

OK, so if the Dr is involved.....why? Have these little black and white hooting terrors started hatching plans of world domination?

And how come their feet are the same length as their height.

And do they speak any kind of scandanavian or just jibberish.

the language is a distorted mix of words from all sorts of European languages, the Pingu concept was originally developed by a European broadcasting consortium involving broadcasters from several countries

the language is odd...but if they really are capable of transdimensional (spell checker hates that one) alteration, surely they must communicate in some highly evolved way?

..no, scratch that, they sound like that've all just had root canal work done at a dentist and the combination of the anaesthetic and the bill has permanently altered there ability to take an active role in our society, and so they have banished themselves to the frozen wastelands in a vain effort to remove the temptation to eat sugar or drink coffee, tea or apple juice!

except penguins have no teeth and therefore no root canals

How does a penguin open a door anyway?
