Penguin Escaped from Bristol Zoo

   BRISTOL, ENGLAND (August 3, 1998) -- Last year a group of Linux enthusiasts
   pooled their money to 
   <A HREF="http://penguin.uk.linux.org">adopt a penguin</A> at the Bristol Zoo for Linus Torvalds.
   Yesterday, Tux, the penguin, escaped from the zoo.  "Since our Windows NT
   system crashed," a zookeeper explains, "we were busy trying to get it
   back online.  We didn't pay any attention to the zoo animals.  That's
   when Tux escaped.  I've never seen anything like this."
   
   Somehow Tux was able to escape from the penguin area, get past the front
   gate, and waddle half a mile down the street.  He was spotted at a 
   Bristol computer store.  The owner said, "I was talking with a customer
   about Windows 98 installation problems when the automatic doors opened.
   I did a double take when I saw a penguin waddle over to the Productivity
   section in the back.  I swear, the penguin knocked a Windows 98 box to
   the floor, and started jumping on it violently!  He then picked up
   a Red Hat Linux box and started to waddle out of the store!  With the
   help of several customers we were able to confine the penguin until the
   police and animal control people arrived."  
   
   Tux was returned to the zoo shortly after.  Rumor has it the zoo is considering
   offering a job to the penguin managing the computer system.  "This penguin
   is much smarter than the marketdroid who convinced the zoo to 'upgrade'
   to Windows NT," an anonymous zookeeper commented.
