All hail the penguin, destroyer of worlds!

I showed the box to my students and many didn't know why the penguin was on the box. Not many extra credit points earned today. :)

I don't think so. With all the new filtering software I'm sure it wouldn't work. Although... while I am blocked from most game sites I can access "this" site while I supervise the night class.
