It's absolute genius, frankly! Clearly someone had way too much time on their hands...

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*grin* Most definitely. And a very, very shiny computer :)

Oh, awesome. I thought it was an April Fool's joke for a moment there.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee ;)

I'm very impressed with the 'Penguin taking off' footage there. My hat off to you BBC!

But Amazonian penguins are possibly the most amusing thing ever! :D

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

It's incredible work - I love the falling penguin at the end the best, I think :)

Humorously (or sadly) I bet there are a lot of people wondering why they'd always thought penguins can't fly right about now...

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*snort* it's worryingly possible.

The other half just linked me to this (http://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html), which is also one of those "huh" things that takes you in for a moment. I'd forgotten that Google are very good at these too...

oooh, google has a sense of humor!

It reminds me of the old joke- a guy goes into a restaurant where the waitress says they serve breakfast any time. He asks if he can have pancakes during the Renaissance

I showed that to my class this morning, and they just stared at it and then went back to conversing with their seatmates. Really, people? Did you read the equation? Heh.

Oh, and it seems Google Australia has done them one better!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Oh good grief...someone put too much work into that!

Genius!

[crystalshard.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha! Oh, that's hilarious.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Isn't it wonderful? Although I had someone ask me "do you think penguins can really fly?"

They were serious...

*facepalm*

If I didn't know better, I'd think my brother was involved in that somewhere along the line... Genius :)

The BBC win at these things. They're just so convincing!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Isn't it awesome? The one at the end was my favourite, cos you could see all the feathers! Someone had too much time and a very shiny computer...

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Best. ad. ever! I knew it wasn't real, but I was still getting goosebumps when the penguins took off! Hee.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean! It was frighteningly convincing!
