      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_auk

      The great auk (Pinguinus impennis), also known as the penguin or garefowl, is an extinct species of flightless alcid that first appeared around 400,000 years ago and became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only modern species in the genus Pinguinus. It was not closely related to the penguins of the Southern Hemisphere, which were named for their resemblance to this species.

      All modern penguins are pseudo-penguins.

      Penguins are the Linux mascot.

      sudo sounds like “pseudo” (unless you are one of those people who pronounces it Sue-dew or sud-Oh, in which case, I don’t like you).

      Sudo penguin. Heh.
