Recently a video made the rounds of a penguin being tickled and making a cute noise, and it reminded me of the time in 2004 when Sumana and I visited the San Francisco zoo and witnessed a penguin making a cute noise when tickled. An even cuter noise, in fact, than the penguin in that video. More of a chuckling noise, I'd say. I bring this up this not to brag, but to tell the world that even cuter penguin videos are possible. However I don't suggest that we harass penguins like paparazzi and demand that they make cute noises; just let it happen, man.
