      I would hatch an evil plan to destroy Batman and take over Gotham City once and for all. Mwahahahaha….

      …oh, a penguin. Sorry, I thought you said The Penguin.

      Ed, great answer! How can I follow that? =}

      I would, I guess, eat fish! And swim around running away from seals. Well swimming away from seals. Hopefully I wouldn’t be an Emporer penguin in midwinter in deep Antarctica being very very cold whilst looking after an egg and huddling with other penguins!

      Maybe I could be in a zoo, and do tricks, that would be interesting!

      I would dance as I can’t sing!

      I’m not a great swimmer so it would be reall fun to have flippers and go exploring under the sea.

      Hopefully I’d be a Northern Rockhopper Penguin, because they have cool plumage:

      I’d tell my fellow penguins to stop being lazy and start eating fish again. Apparently penguins originally used to eat fish. Then whale hunting decimated the big krill (shrimp) eating whales to such a degree that there was lots of krill left for the penguins to eat. They got used to only eating krill. Now there are more whales because they are being protected, so there is less krill for the penguins and they are starting to starve because they have forgotten to hunt fish. How stupid is that!
