I did pre-warn that my comment was offtopic.gif so I'll talk about penguins knees, or lack of them, if I want to, especially since I couldn't view the video

I wasnt commenting on the fact that it was off topic.... I was commenting on the awkward idea that some people on this forum have a strange fascination with the anatomy of penguins....

I have probably spent too much time thinking about it than would be classed as 'normal' by certain men in white coats...but I don't care, as I think I have the answer!

My view is that they do have knees...but the kneecaps are too big for their joints, and that's why they waddle curtsey.gif
