I'm ashamed to admit it, but this was actually part of the criterion for
the design of the penguin.  And I quote from my original message that
called for the penguin to be done:

	Give people the outline, and they should say [ sickly sweet
	voice, babytalk almost ] "Ooh, what a cuddly penguin, I bet he
	is just _stuffed_ with herring", and small children will jump up
	and down and scream "mommy mommy, can I have one too?".

I have no morals.
