NightRabbit: it is indeed all a coincidence. I got it from Berke Breathed. I donā€™t even know how to pronounce Annwn, or if it be fish or fowl. ---

Annwn is/was a Celtic-rock band in the San Francisco Bay area. Cool stuff. They had a very funny song about Penguin Lust, I think also inspired by the Bloom County cartoon. Itā€™s on their _The Lovers Enchained_ album. \ [Here it is](http://www.nuit.org/lyricSearch.cgi?name=penguin.lust&album=Lovers), with the story behind it. ---

So does this make Linux a threat to traditional marriages like the one enjoyed by Britney Spears for 55 hours a couple of months back? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/penguin-lust-gay-penguins-fall-in-love-adopt-egg/228048.md?page=1)
