People Share Memes That Provide an Amusing Perspective on History

This meme raises quite a few questions. For one, how do we know the penguin is indifferent? It’s 1904, so it’s safe to assume the penguin hadn’t seen many bagpipes before and that it hadn’t been subjected to Happy Feet. There’s no way it knew it was supposed to start tap dancing to show appreciation.

For two, why did someone carry bagpipes on an Antarctic exploration? I’m hoping their ship is somewhere close by and that he didn’t lug those bagpipes for miles in the frozen tundra. Bagpipes weigh between five to eleven pounds, which is a considerable amount of extra weight for a trek through any landscape!
