I was wondering if Penguins had knees,

LOL, and came across this silly site, which is really cute for a laugh actually.  Too much time on my hands today I guess.

Oh I found a book in the left column on the subject of penguin knees.  Isn't this internet just about the greatest thing since peanut butter?

Speaking of which - what do you think was the greatest invention of the 20th century?  This is a site that shows the greatest engineering achievements, amazing how many we actually use.

I did NOT see eBay on that list anywhere, or Ultralash mascara, sheesh!

This came to mind when Florida was without power, (meaning not only no light but no air-conditioning) and all the other major inconveniences they suffered from loss of things that we take for granted every single day, like a hair dryer

heaven forbid! This led to research on underdeveloped countries, and I left feeling darn glad I was who I was, living where I was, and didn't seem to care about whether or not penguins had knees or not.

Penguins do not have knees...neither do English Butlers.

Now I'm wondering if it bothers them that they don't...

hmmm...there's a poem in there somewhere.

How about a challenge to our Sharons for a duet regarding that?

I know you two can come up with some bedevilment. grinning...

Has there ever been a penguin in Mature Content before?

Furthermore, do you have knees if you can't see them?

Oh boy Meghan, I still remember not being able to see my feet (my son was 12lbs., 11 oz. at birth) so I didn't see my knees or feet for at least 4-5 months LOL.

Soon, honey, soon - I guess you lasted to induction day and I could have bet you would not have. I, along with everyone here I am sure, can't wait to hear about Freyja and your experience when you "find the time."
