FTFA: During an examination on Friday, the chick topped the scales at 990 grams. That's nearly two pounds - more than double its weight from the previous weight of 484 grams recorded one week earlier.

Not too good at metric, eh? 2.18 pounds is nearly 2 pounds?

I imagine penguin is nice and fatty like duck, so it doesn't dry out.

Plus, you can use the fat for roast potatoes.

The best part is that one of its parents is named CHAOS.

When submitter said "bowl full" of penguin, I was hoping for some sort of stew.

This should be required for sessions of Congress. Whenever the fist-banging and shouting starts, the Sergeant at Arms brings out the Bowl o' Penguin, everybody says "Awwww" and goes back to work.

I'm going to be in Nashville at the beginning of August, and I see that there is also a Big River Grille there as well. Any idea if it's as good?

I'm from Nashville. We have to truck in the penguin supply so it usually isn't as fresh when they serve it here.

Nice! My sister works at that aquarium in the new jellyfish exhibit. Last summer I visited and got the grand, behind-the-scenes tour - I'm pretty sure I met and got to pet and feed most of the penguins mentioned. I remember Chaos - aptly named for sure. Their giant marine "fish bowl" (capacity over 600k gallons and a brazillion fish and other marine critters) is worth the trip by itself.

The area is also full of nice restaurants and suffers no shortage of attractive female humans. Would be a nice place to live if not for the mosquitos.

/ my $.02

I'm from Atlanta, but I grew up outside of Chattanooga. I would say from a scientific perspective, the TN aquarium totally pwns the GA aquarium hands down. The experience itself is amazing, and the TN aquarium focuses on local ecosystems a lot more, it's really cool because you don't see that in many aquariums.

How come penguins don't get interesting ethnic names?

So maybe they should name it Stew? It's already in the bowl.

I just saw that baby penguin on Tuesday! All the other penguins were gathered around it just staring at its littleness. It was adorable.

/There was one male penguin who didn't have a mate. He kept building nests but the only eligible female wanted nothing to do with him. It was sad.

Bowl full of baby penguin? Oh I see, it is just *a* penguin. I was kinda liking the idea of penguin as a plural noun, like sheep or deer.

Yankee Doodle went to town,
Riding on a pony;
He stuck a feather penguin in his cap bowl,
And called it macaroni.

/don't mind me, I'm feeling a little very silly stupid today
//cute penguin, though!

I saw the baby on Monday, well part of its lil flipper. The parents hid them under their bellies. The other penguins were like WTF is this plastic shield thing and that littleness there????

Freaking cute and amazing Aquarium. And the jellies are righteous...
