Shipwreck may have belonged to stranded penguin hunters

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVICE reports archaeologists have found a hundred-and-fifty-year-old wreck that may have belonged to stranded penguin hunters.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the question is this: stuck for three months, would you eat the canned penguin?

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm sorry, but yes, and I'd plate it nicely.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe museum says the crew cooked Rockhopper penguins in a can, so I'd list it as a heritage tin, and I'd lead with the word tin.

5. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt was lamp oil, Vera. They were cooking the penguins to extract the oil, not to eat them.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOh. So it's a candle.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCandle, dinner, whatever. The ship's owner reportedly spent about three months stranded on that island, and I'm told the buffet was thin.

8. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFine, my side is no.

9. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentRendered penguin fat is not food. Piedra Buena reportedly came home with five hundred sixty wolf hides and about thirty barrels. Nobody sails home from lunch with barrels.

10. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo you'd starve over a can.

11. 

    Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI'd eat the buttons first. At least a button has a known composition. Nobody has ever sent a button to a lab and been surprised.

12. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe buttons are not food, Nina. Show of hands: who eats the penguin? I'm in.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'm in, but only if somebody else opens the can.
