2. ahh....
Saw March of the Penguins last night. It's as good as everybody says.

You spend an hour and a half going "awwww" and "oooh!". Amazing animals.

12. I bawled my eyes out...
and there sat 4,5,6 yr. olds taking it all in and I'm crying like a baby because of the harsh conditions they endure...I was so depressed when I left. It was a good documentary, but I'm just an ol' softy.

8. I heard that by a Penguin expert on a program on Animal Planet
Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 06:35 PM by xultar
The EXPERT works @ a zoo with one of the TOP penguin exhibits.

So, no smarty pants I don't own one.

11. here ya go...here's first hand
The general rule is, the smaller the penguin, the meaner the temperament, and the researchers did witness the odd fight. Their flippers may look pretty useless out of water, but it's not smart to play around with a penguin. He'll stand his ground in a face-off and if you're foolish enough to get too close, those flippers can knock you flat.

28. I used to have photos of penguins playing football with us on the
Antarctic icecap. Unfortunately, they were stolen from my car years ago.

16. if their poop is ANYTHING
like loon poop, you'll have to bulldoze your house.

if it's like murre poop, you'll never eat mayo again.

18. Well since they go for about 3-4 months without eating
I doubt much poop is coming out of them!

23. Yes but if they can find their breeding ground located 50 miles away
They should be trainable to find a litter box

27. hmmmmmmmmmm
I think your logic is flawed here...

I don't think you can train birds to poop anywhere.

17. I dreamed about penguins the other night
True. I dreamed that they had learned how to fly using some apparatus hung around them with a propeller on top. They looked like helicopter penguins. Gee, I wonder what an analyst would have to say about that.

25. Friends just did an Antarctica cruise
and yes they smell and the wife is bring air freshener to do the bathroom. As you get off land they clean you boots, but they are not 100% clean. Once back in the cabin the husband would clean the boots in the bath but even still there was a smell...

Cute buggers but smelly...
