It's also worth pointing out (or perhaps not but what the heck) some penguins don't live in the cold, the ones at the Toronto zoo are called "Madagascar penguins" so I presume they are from Madagascar. They also have penguins in the courtyard at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.</font>
The Hyatt in Maui has penguins. I believe they are African Black-Footed Penguins. There's a sign explaining that they aren't cruelly subjecting Antarctic birds to the tropical heat.

Next time you go to a zoo with penguins, take a flashlight or laser pointer. You'll laugh yourself stupid for hours.</font>
Where do you get this stuff? I won't be able to look at a penguin the same way now.

The laser pointer stuff works wonders with humans too. We spent hours (ok maybe minutes) laughing our a**es off by shining a laser pointer out of my appartment window onto the sidewalk and watching the people react to it.

Who said the AC forum was off-topic? (And I love it just the way it is!)

I hope that wasn't you doing that in a hotel in Downtown Ottawa a few months back! :P
