:lol2:
Priceless ROFLMAO!!! I keep watching it over and over and over and over.....
BTW how do you get the owned smilie to work? :confused:
The slappy penguin isn't a real one.
the coloration of the shadow is completely wrong, too much "light" surface, and the "wing" moves more like an arm than a penguin wing. they don't have an "elbow", but the one in the image does.
Their wings are stiff, that one flexes...
Also notice how the rest of the bird just kinda stands there while only its arm moves.
fake, but it's fun :/

Yeah right, next your going to say the Easter Bunny doesn't exist. :rolleyes:
notice the shadows of the two penguins. when the walking one walks by, the shadows combine and darken. they shouldn't darken unless each penguin has their own shadow from a different light source. even then it isn't physically possible.
the one that slaps also doesn't move at all, except for the wing. and its shadow doesn't move or grow when the wing is blocking sunlight. my guess is that the original video doesn't even have the penguin on the right.

I didn't think it was supposed to fool anyone.

Absolutely. I have that but in video, and it's really funny. Obviously fake, but that doesn't make it less funny. :D

I heard a story (probably apocryphal) that bored RAF pilots stationed on the Falkand Islands amuse themselves by flying low over flocks of penguins.
The birds watch the plane coming toward them, and continue to track it, looking up and up and up until they over-balance and fall over backwards.
Like I said, possibly an urban myth, but an amusing image anyway!
:D

Just seen this at another forum as well...it's hilarious. You can watch the same animation for about 15 mins.
