Fly underwater??! Can anything even do that??? I thought things in water swim. INCLUDING penguins. C'mon wat's up with u guys. Pengiuns CAN'T fly. Besides, they use their wings to swim.

The way they move underwater is more characteristic of flying, not swimming. They dive, climb, pitch and roll more like birds than fish.

Yeah, fish do more of a "waddle"...besides, bi-ped swimming usually requires that you have feet that are able to propel you through the water.

Scott:Okay, Houston. As I stand out here in the wonders of the unknown at Hadley, I sort of realize there's a fundamental truth to our nature. Man must explore.

Yeah.. Penguins make moves similar to a jetfighter... In that case, they do fly
But if 'to fly' is specificated as in 'staying above the ground on your own strength', they simply can't

interesting change of tune NightEye. From someone who totally doubted it, you have partially accepted the truth. I congratulate you.

If people are putting the defenition of "Fly" as an object moving through the air, then just about everything (including my mouse which is intermittantly not working) can fly. On the premise of actual flying though, penguins can fly about as well as you can. Also penguins may "fly" through the water metaphorically, but any animals moving through water are classed as swimming.

[Very silly topic if you ask me, if you've had pre-school education you would know they can't fly, and also that egyptians are aliens]

I think that's enough of this thread. It is silly and useless now.
