Lots of penguins got well oiled, and Australians all around leapt into action. The concern was that they'd get cold, so people were knitting them woolly jumpers (guernseys to the Poms, probably the Americans have another word). The ABC (abc.net.au, not the American broadcaster)) published patterns and held knit-ins. The penguins would be fairy penguins, a big one would reach as far as my shin. The same, I think, as the one Linus met. I'e waited years for an opportunity to mention it here, it seems to me to go well with mentions of things like penguin food and penguin knickknacks.
