Just wondering if I should be worried here?

A new study using satellite mapping technology reveals there are twice as many emperor penguins in Antarctica than was previously thought. The results provide an important benchmark for monitoring the impact of environmental change on the population of this iconic bird.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Although I'm not sure whether that is the actual launching point of the real assault; it could just be a distraction. . .

You don't shoot them. You send the yeti with a big club to bat them away.

It is getting hard to find a reliable yeti these days.

The PLOS one article on finding penguin colonies by looking for brownish ice:
http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0033751

Per the article, the emperor penguin population has been, up until now, grossly underestimated. Don't pick on Pengwuino! He has 600,000 friends in the Antarctic.

Ah. Peer-Reviewed Penguins. :smile:

With the recent reports of mischievous penguins harassing freshman physics majors, local authorities have mandated the questioning of all penguins within a 50 mile radius of the university. The subjects pictured above are believed to be affiliated with the infamous "Pengwuino," the leader of Peng's Posse, which is an underground militia whose purported purpose is to achieve world domination by the year 2020. Here we see them subjected to the rigorous process of profiling outlined in the aforementioned mandate.

totally brilliant bbc programme on penguins (first of three), narrated by (former doctor who) david tennant, and featuring robotic penguincams, robotic rockcams, and cute eggcams, at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01460rf/Penguins_Spy_in_the_Huddle_The_Journey/

Don't you mean you send the Canadian's?
 

1. Is there any evidence to support the claim that Pengwuino is ganging up on us?

As a scientist, I cannot confirm or deny this claim without sufficient evidence. It is important to gather data and conduct thorough research before making any conclusions.

2. Who is Pengwuino and why would they gang up on us?

Pengwuino is not a real person, but rather a username used on various online platforms. It is not possible for a username to physically gang up on anyone.

3. What do you mean by "ganging up" and how is Pengwuino doing this?

Ganging up typically refers to a group of people joining together to bully or intimidate someone. Since Pengwuino is not a physical entity, it is not possible for them to physically gang up on anyone. It is possible that they may be making negative comments or spreading false information, but this cannot be confirmed without evidence.

4. Is there a specific reason why Pengwuino would target us?

Without knowing the context or situation, it is impossible to determine why someone would target a specific group or individual. It is important to gather more information and evidence before making any assumptions.

5. How can we protect ourselves from Pengwuino's alleged ganging up behavior?

If there is evidence of negative behavior from Pengwuino, it is important to report it to the appropriate authorities or moderators. It is also important to practice critical thinking and not believe everything we see or read online without proper evidence.
