Just saw this headline on CNN website. Thought it peculiar, since penguins can't even fly and have no technical know-how: How do they get into space?

[+1] - edgarblythe - 06/04/2009Come to think of it, the poop's the thing from space. Doesn't really say anything about penguins getting up there. Stranger and stranger.
[+1] - Linkat - 06/04/2009Awesome - wonder why they are tracking poop? I hope they aren't tracking mine.

[+1] - Reyn - 06/04/2009[quote=]Scientists track penguin poop from space[/quote] Yeah, but were they able to tell what their last meals were? Huh? Huh? Those scientists aren't so smart! ;) :lol:

They don't fly but their aerodynamics are GREAT. They're way easy to launch.

Yeah, but what kind of fish is it? Enquiring minds need to know these kind of details for research. Razz

penguin poop is great for country gentleman corn and ever-bearing strawberries. I collect it in 1 cubic ft bags that I spread on top on the garden in early december but be sure to water it in well. works pretty well for zucchini as well.

Well, it's so obvious. There are penguins on Mars on the ice cap and their poop is lighter than the Martian air and there's not enough gravity to hold the excretion from racing into space. Don't go outside tonight.

My beloved is from Mars although I confess show does not look like a penguin she was taught by them in Catholic school after which I had the distinct pleasure of undoing.
