Anna HughesI'm sorry, were any of you planning on telling me there used to be a species of penguin that was 6'7" (2m) tall and weighed 250 lbs (115kg) called Mega Penguin or was I supposed to just find that out on my own
Sunflower Björnskalle 🌻@annaghughes Sorry, I did know this but thought you already knew ;)
@annaghughes I think I first heard about mega penguins from PBS Eons. Apparently there were quite a few kinds of giant penguins.

Brendan Merk@apodoxus @annaghughes “If we increase the size of the penguin to the size of a man, the penguins brain is still smaller. But, and this is the point, it is larger than it *was*”!

Misuse Case@annaghughes It sounds like a Pokémon or something.
Karen Bruner@MisuseCase @annaghughes I was coming in here to say the same thing.
Lincoln Lincoln@annaghughes - It was meant to be a surprise. One day you were going to open your door and there would be this honking big penguin waiting for you on the porch. But not anymore. You found out. That poor poor penguin will have to surprise somebody else, now.
