Penguin travels every year to visit man who rescued him (2016)

Reminds me of an incident in my early education when I happened to catch a documentary spoof about Stonehenge on TV that depicted whales building the ancient wonder. (I think Steve Martin was involved.)

Coincidentally, a few days later the topic of Stonehenge came up in class and my teacher asked if anyone knew anything about it. I immediately raised my hand and, when my teacher called on me, smugly announced, with full sincerity, that whales had built it.

She simply said, "No." Then turned to the next raised hand.

Edit: I can now confirm that my teacher was simply not informed by the latest research at the time:

There is evidence to suggest that the stone came from Wales, so perhaps you weren't too far from the truth. ;)
