But they *are* the Best Birds!

[John Harshman]

Therefore, creationists are penguins. (If they weigh the same as a duck...)

[hersheyh]

I think I have seen that sort of logic used here recently. Something
about DNA sequences and atoms wrt to what they say about humans and
chimpanzees AIR.

I actually heard that said in a documentary: Talking about bird
parenting, they switched over
to a scene of a penguin with an egg on its feet and the
narrator said, "...but penguins are the *best* parents."

They're the best at *penguin logic.

OK I give up. Google was no help. Can someone tell me what the joke
is? Is it like a "no true Scottsman" thing?

t.o. specific. I think it originated here:
http://groups.google.com/group/talk.origins/msg/a4c32d19c90f0001

Blame it on Mark Isaak. A response to this asked of penguins were
the best dinos, the answer was yes, and a meme was born.

(Penguins are the best memes.)

[Friar Broccoli]

And Penguin logic is the BEST logic.

Down with duck logic.

I didn't start it. Some spammer whose handle I forgot spents a few weeks
posting over and over nothing but "Penguins are the best birds." His
message stuck.
