Germany’s Advice To Survive Winter: Walk Like A Penguin

During the colder months of 2014, over 750 Berlin residents suffered bone fractures. Worried that these injuries had something to do with icy conditions, the German Society of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery published some shaky advice: walk like a penguin. The technique requires non-birds to lean their torsos forward so that their center of gravity is always on the front leg. The result is sure to make Germans look just as awkward and wobbly as their penguin friends, and if the technique proves successful, pretty soon they might be sliding to work on their bellies. It’s a slippery slope.
