Giant penguin holds up train
A train driver caused delays on a German rail line after mistaking a giant toy penguin for a dead man in a tuxedo.
According to Ananova, passengers were left stranded in Neuwied after Udo Vergens pulled the emergency stop when he saw what he thought was a man lying face down and wearing a black and white tuxedo.
Officials who came to investigate found only a man-size soft toy penguin lying on the tracks.
A Neuwied police spokesman said: “We are at a loss to explain the presence of this very large penguin.
“We would think you would notice if you lost something like this.”
No word yet as to whether “Do you know this penguin” ads have appeared on the side of milk cartons in the country.
