yes! :!)lisa! said:do you still like teddy ruxpin?:!)
Drakkith said:So where is the opening ceremony at this year? Last year we had it at Evo's garage and it was...fantastic.
This year we need to run a Bunsen burner around.
berkeman said:Negative. We are definitely not letting Evo run around with a Bunsen Burner. Don't you remember what happened that time with the chainsaw?!
Drakkith said:I still have nightmares about that incident. That poor family...
Greg Bernhardt said:of racoons...
But after the unfortunate mishap which destroyed their home, PF members came together and built them a new home, solar powered, sustainable...Drakkith said:...and their christmas tree...

dlgoff said:It's amazing how the quantity of quality post in the engineering forums I follow has grown in the past year. There are so many deserving members.
berkeman said:I agree. There are many times now when I recognize a username who has replied in a thread when I'm viewing the top level of each forum, and I know that I don't have to click into the thread to help out. Their level of expertise and patient help is that high. And I know if there is a problem in the thread, it will be reported. Very nice!
Mathwonk was one of the members that suggested the new policy IIRC.dextercioby said:Hi Greg, that's not quite fair. Everyone should get a chance, even mathwonk. (Lavinia wins).
Drakkith said:I say screw voting and fight for the title! Every nominee gets a fish of their choice and a ham sandwich for the fight!

Greg Bernhardt said:someone is trying to get in the best humor poll... :D
Drakkith said:Let's not bring my amazing upper arms into this.
boneh3ad said:Obviously too late for this year, but out of curiosity, how do you go about nominating a member? There are some deserving people that I can think of who were left off, and not just the ineligible ones who won last year.

Mute said:So is there a grace period before we can start running attack ads to discredit our competition, or are we good to go now? The people need to know that the other homework helper nominees are out of touch with middle class students and will outsource all of our jobs overseas.

The idea of flying elephants and allowing penguins to do so is purely fictional and not scientifically possible. Elephants are too heavy to fly and penguins do not have the physical adaptations necessary for flight. These are just imaginative concepts often seen in cartoons and movies.
No, there is no scientific evidence to support the idea of flying elephants and penguins. These animals have not evolved to have the ability to fly and their physical characteristics do not allow for it.
While it is possible for humans to create technology that allows for flight, it is highly unlikely that elephants and penguins would be able to use such technology. Their bodies are not designed for flight and it would require a significant amount of energy and strength for them to fly, which they do not possess.
No, there are no animals that can fly like elephants and penguins. Some animals, such as birds and bats, have the ability to fly, but they have evolved specifically for flight and have unique physical adaptations that allow them to do so.
It is highly unlikely that elephants and penguins would evolve to fly in the future. Evolution occurs over a long period of time and is driven by natural selection and adaptation to the environment. Since these animals are not adapted for flight and do not have the necessary physical characteristics, it is not possible for them to evolve to fly.
