Every time you think the world couldn't get any weirder, it does. Like the news that a King Penguin at Edinburgh Zoo has been knighted by the Norwegian King's Guard.
You read right, a penguin in a Scottish zoo has been knighted, meaning we should probably call it "Sir Penguin".

We are not making this up at all, read the full article here and watch the knighting ceremony below.
