Makes sense to me. People who believe in these alleged flightless
birds can't even keep their story straight. Allegedly they live at the
south pole yet often when I see them in commercials on TV they are
accompanied by Polar Bears who (A) live on the other side of the world
and (B) are predators who would almost certainly cheerfully eat any
such thing if they shared an enviroment.

For that matter the only time I've ever seen so called "Penguins" in
the wild was in the galapogos islands. And if penguins WERE real and
ACTUALLY needed ice sheets to survive what would they be doing at the
equator? Animatronics makes much more sense.
