The preceeding study was brought to you by the International Institute of Obvious Studies.

Your not spreading dis-information are you ;)

It's on Youtube, so it must be true, right?

I was under the impression that the reason why they couldn't fly was:

They don't have feathers like flying-birds;

and that they are too pudgy for their slim wings.

You have probably solved what it is going to take a team of scientists 3 years and millions of $$$'s of investment before they come to that conclusion.

I'm no scientist but I'm fairly certain it's because they are fat

Did you read the article?

They are cute, fat, wobbly little birds that essentially do their flying under water. There, I believe I've covered the situation nicely...and all for the bargain price of zero dollars!

Awww, How sweet of you.

I'll give you $5.50! This ought a be a worthwhile investment.

We humans call them birds, maybe they don't see themselves as birds...

that makes sense but can a bird learn to fly and swim at the same time meaning master both?i believe its possible i do.although i have to admit never seen one that can do both though.but i am sure there are some.like ducks can swim and fly maybe not underwater like penguins but still do to some degree though.penguins are funny though.the way they walk and stuff

We need scientists to tell something as blazingly obvious as this? Good grief.

In their defense, I assume that these scientists were probably laughing their collective behinds off as they were burning through Obama stimulus money for this ridiculous piece of academic waste.

Reading the comments, I think you, xsas and me are the only ones who actually read the article.

I second that idea - are those wings or flippers?

The shape of a penguin in flight is like that of a CRUISE MISSILE. The stalling speed of this airborne bird would be about the same. To reach this speed our penguin would need a small jet engine. At these speeds the poor chap would be plucked .I think penguins have more sense .
