Where do Penguins Come From? (Serious Question)
« on: April 04, 2007, 11:22:59 AM »
We all know that polar bears live in the Arctic and that penguins live in Antarctica....

WAIT!!!!!

FE says there is no Antarctica. So where do penguins come from?

Of course, penguins could live along the Ice Wall. You know, where the government shoots anyone who come near.

Are the FEers trying to tell me that America has never seen a penguin, that the nation is hallucinating or on drugs every time they go to the zoo? Wake up FE! The 70s are over; America as a whole doesn't do that anymore!

Most penguins don't even live in the antarctic (naturally).  They could have swam from Africa for all we know.

Well, you a partially correct, penguins have evolved from a bird that lived in Africa, when Africa and Antarctica were still touching during the Late Cretaceous (approximately 70 million years ago).  The bird stayed on Antarctica and evolved their feathers into the form we see today, able to withstand 100 mph winds and -100 degrees Celsius.  The penguins we see today are too small to swim from Africa to Antarctica.  Also, the climates are so drastically different between the two continents, if a small bird could swim that distance, it wouldn't be able to live in the conditions in the Antarctica.

Actually, i think we have traced them back to early soviet experiments pre WW2, around 1932.

but in all seriousness, even in FE there is a ring of land many kilometers wide running along the base of the ice wall.

and thus, the age old question; what came first, the genetically bred Antarctican ice wall defending flightless bird, or the egg?

The ice wall is "Antartica".
Penguins live in Antartica
Hence Penguins live on the ice wall.

Note: I am not FE or RE.  This is just obvious information I have picked up on from being here and reading things for quite a while.

From Wikipedia:

"Although all penguin species are native to the southern hemisphere, they are not, contrary to popular belief, found only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a few species of penguin actually live so far south. At least ten species live in the temperate zone; one lives as far north as the Galápagos Islands (the Galápagos Penguin)."

And the ice wall isn't tiny, there is lots of room for penguins to live.

For god's sake. Penguins have been extinct for 50 years. :-\ The only penguins alive today are those that live in relatively warm climates such as the african penguin. ::) I explained all this a while ago.

I know that 'Antarctica' is supposedly the ice wall. The point I'm trying to make is that if penguins live by the ice wall, then in order to pick them up, you would have to get close to the ice wall, more than likely see the wall, and then be shot by the government. Not all penguins live in Antarctica, but I've seen some of the species that only live there. Are you trying to say that the government or military brings penguins to zoos? Are you trying to say that no scientist, no researcher has ever studies penguins in Antarctica?

Obviously the scientists or researchers who studied penguins in Antartica and brought them back for zoos were part of the conspiracy...You don't need to be shot to be kept quiet.

So now involved in the conspiracy are biologists, ecologists, arctic researchers, and any person involved in the creation and maintenance of a zoo and/or ecological preserve.*


*This is in addition to all military personnel, terrorists, Heads of State, politicians, bureaucratic officials, private and commercial pilots, air traffic controllers, lensmakers, mirror-makers, shadow-object-makers, photographers, explorers, climatologists, astronomers, geographers, geologists, sailors, physicists, astro/cosmonauts, oceanographers, technicians, rocket scientists, roboticists, historians, National Geographic, the Catholic Church, "Australians", everyone else in the Southern hemisphere, and probably liberals too.  Anyone but Hillary, 2008! ;D

I have the most logical answer for this thread's question. Tom Bishop layed its first egg, little do we know, Tom has an age of most prophets back then. I think he's in his 800 years of age.

In Reply to the OP

Penguins migrated from the center of the Earth that is why you see penguins near the equator.  When you look across the ocean why can you not see to the other side?  It's because the Earth curves.  Isn't this obvious?

which obviously cant happen on an FE model because the center of their earth is the north pole, where, sadly, no penguins exist.
