That the Galápagos pengs at the northern end of Isabela island live in the Northern Hemisphere.
The great auk (Pinguinus impennis) is a species of flightless alcid that became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only modern species in the genus Pinguinus. It is not closely related to the birds now known as penguins, which were discovered later by Europeans and so named by sailors because of their physical resemblance to the great auk.-Wikipedia

Not sure how we ending with pengs in English. Most other languages spell it with an i which is much more fun to say - pinguim, pingüino, pingwiny.

After watching a video where dyke was spelt dike, I discovered that when referring to a wall, Dyke is Scots and Dike English.Bloody vowel shift.Sent from my BKL-L09 using Tapatalk

There's an alternative version of the Lord's Prayer that has the line :Lead us not into Penge Station(Can't remember the rest but is quite amusing)
