Howdy Penguins!
Today I will be presenting the first Club Penguin Mythbusters.
Tipping the iceberg
The rumour: The rumour about tipping the iceberg on Club Penguin is that if you get a large group of penguins to go to the Iceberg, dress up in pizza chef, miner etc costumes, dance and stand in a specific area, the iceberg will tip.
Testing: So, Laughpenguin went to the Iceberg and he found 38 Penguins attempting to tip the Iceberg. All wearing the miner's costume and standing at the top. After half an hour, no tip. He went on again, 23 penguins. They weren't wearing anything in particular. A couple had the pizza chef costume. One hour... (no joke) no tip. They all stood around the "rim" of the iceberg.
Researching: Laughpenguin looked online for a program to look at the aspects of the iceberg. He found one and the program showed him the drawings, sizes and shapes of the Iceberg. From what the program says, it is impossible to tip the Iceberg. Furthermore, many people have posted pictures and videos of tipping the iceberg on Google Images and YouTube. THESE ARE ALL FAKE. They are obvious edits. If there was just one, it might be believable but no, with so many pictures and videos showing tipping the Iceberg in different ways, which direction the tip happens and your "reward" for tipping it, they are obviously fake. Members of the EPF and (now deceased) PSA, may recognise this picture:
It's from 'PSA Mission 1: Case of the Missing Puffles'. You go to the Iceberg and discover some Penguins stranded. They claim part of the Iceberg fell away. Now, this doesn't proof any TIPPING, but does it prove any CRACKING??? No. Remember that these missions are essentially mini-games for the EPF/PSA. Think about it. Every time you play Puffle Rescue at the Mine, does a Puffle really go missing? No. Furthermore, if these missions were real, why is the Sports Shop still in them?! The Sports Shop was replaced in May 2010 after Herbert's popcorn explosion!
Check your postcards. Go on do it now. Can you see the postcard circled in the picture below?
That's a 'Tip the Berg' postcard. Most Club Penguin postcards are invitations for events. So this is basically a 'tip the iceberg party' invitation. Club Penguin must've added this as it has become a Penguin pastime. Also to possibly build up the question if tipping the 'berg is possible?
Interview: With the decision about tipping the iceberg almost done, we still wanted to interview some Penguins to ask them about tipping the Iceberg. But first, we asked a Club Penguin Tech Support Team Member.
Heyo,
Thanks for taking a moment from waddling to send us a message, it's fin-tastic to hear from curious feathered friends like yourself!
Ever since the Iceberg appeared aside Club Penguin Island penguins have been trying to tip it. I have heard many a boastful penguin claiming to have succeeded in moving that great block of ice. Although no one can confirm whether the Iceberg has actually been tipped there are plenty of rumours flying around that it has been done. Some say that a crack has appeared in the ice proving that the Iceberg is on the verge of toppling over; scary!
I have never seen it happen myself but I have taken part in plenty of Iceberg tipping parties and have had a lot of fun! The last one I went to everyone had to turn red for Rockhopper in the hope that the great captain himself would hear our call and lend a flipper! (One rumour even says that Rockhopper is the only penguin to have managed to tip the Iceberg).
Why not join in the next tipping party you get invited to? Or you could even throw one yourself! Who knows, you may even make history by contributing to the first ever official tipping!
Have an 'ice' day!

Now on to asking Penguins their thoughts about tipping the iceberg:
Pingo2242: I think tipping the iceberg would be interesting but, no, it's not possible.
Pooky0101: Tipping the iceberg could be possible. I've tried tipping it once or twice with a few friends but if we got every penguin on the island to try and tip it, it might be possible.
Logan 625: I think the iceberg can be tipped. I'm going to now, but I can't do it by myself! I would need time. It's [the iceberg] cracking. I think Club Penguin likes people trying to tip the iceberg.
Hatmanpepper: I've been on CP for many years. You can't tip it, it's impossible. Same as always. It won't even crack.
Overall: Although many Penguins think it's possible to tip the Iceberg, we have discovered it's not. The program used to examine the iceberg states it's not possible to tip. Club Penguin have kept it a mystery but I think we know the truth. Just remember that wherever you go on Club Penguin, it's always a room. So the Iceberg is just a room decorated like an Iceberg. If it really was an Iceberg, how come Penguins can walk off it [the iceberg] and on to the "water" in the room?
Decision: BUSTED!
