HA HA April Fool’s

[Trteamer]

I wonder if Cabella’s sells penguin decoys......

[Exton1]

Yea Right, April Fools.. Look at the photos they are doctored. There are too many clues to indicate this is a joke.

[Charlespg]

Do they taste like chicken ?

[Technocrat]

That’s the awesomest AFJ ever! I love it!!

[Shanty Shaker]

I hope I haven’t been caught in an ‘April fool’s joke.’

A little late for such a statement. :)

[rintense]

Looks very photoshoped to me.

[Billthedrill]

Don’t listen to these skeptics. Do you think they’d let it on the Internet if it weren’t true?

[Wacka]

Jumping the gun just a little.

FR exposes another hoax. Good eye, Extinct1.

Did the Green Helmet give it away?

Hahaha! ALMOST had me until I saw those photos!

[fred4prez]

Well, what do you think? :) Look at the date of the article - should be enough to answer your question. Funny though!

Take a look at those fat birds and their wings - they couldn’t fly unless you strapped rocket motors to their backs.

"VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!

[G Larry]

The scientific explanation is clear!

This is an evolutionary response to global warming.

[higgmeister]

Looks pretty shopped

Totally shopped!

[Kozak]

Flying penguins is old stuff. During and after the Falklands war groups of penguins would wander into a minefield and er fly so to speak, giving rise to the riddle:

Whats black and white and red and flies once?

Answer:

Penguins in the Falklands....

  they couldn’t fly unless you strapped rocket motors to their backs.

That's not to say it hasn't been tried!

Witness the evil "Batman Returns" megapenguin!!

Okay, okay, so they were *carrying* the rockets for launch, not using them for flight propulsion. But, a little superglue potentially provides a repurposing of the penguin (as it were). I, for one, believe the idea has merit!
