No, human are not crazy. Not a bit. Knighting a Penguin is perfectly normal.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
That's a lovely picture of the penguin, Sir Nils Olav III, and how those people Edinburgh Zoo employees Lorna Moffat and Michael Livingstone, are admiring him. A special moment in time.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
There's no shortage of unusual naval traditions and seamen in general are a superstitious lot originating from the risky nature of being at sea I guess. An albatross round your neck...
Anyway it's not too different to granting legal person status to the likes of the Whanganui River for example, again for reasons that aren't immediately apparent.
