PENGUIN TO SUE KILLER WHALE OVER NEAR FATAL ENCOUNTER

SOUTH POLE- Killer whale Greg Hansen as been served a subpoena by the Fourth District Court of the South Pole this week relating to a matter involving him and a small Gentoo Penguin in the waters off of the Ronne Ice Shelf in the Weddell Sea.

Sources say that the Alfred Peterson, the Plaintiff was swimming happily looking for food when he was suddenly and deliberately attacked.

"I was looking for some krill or maybe some fish to eat, and all of the sudden I was running for my life. It was pretty surreal, I gotta say."

Although reports of this nature have increased as of late, the case of the small aquatic bird is likely dependent upon how the jury feels about an amateur video that captured the event. 

Judge Poseidon, God of the Sea, is set to reign over the hearing. Despite last year's scandal involving mermaids he was re-elected and retains his seat for another term.

Wow, I feel so bad for that penguin. If I was on the jury, I know what I'd do. Thanks for sharing this story, Tys. ;)
