Giant Penguins!!!!

In high school I had a fun and crazy friend named Wendy. We were around one another enough to have people mix our names up and it wasn't long before I responded to the name Wendy and the other way around.

We had this running joke about penguins, how they were diabolical birds that used their seemingly adorable appearances as a clever disguise. It went so far as to say that, yes, penguins are a growing evil that are now planning world domination and the enslavement of the human race.

That could have been true 40 million years ago (had we been around) Check this out-- bloody five foot tall penguins. Scientists found these skeletal remains of penguins in Peru. According to the first article, this could be the third largest bird to have ever existed.

Here is a CNN news linkfor a little more info, it's just too crazy of a story to buy into to one source. It seems like something that belongs on those National Enquirer magazines you find in the super market.
