Mad-Ade Feb 16, 2002	maybe the penguins are not native to the artic, but if offered a penguin egg a straving person would eat it no matter where it came from. There for the question and answer you asked are both incorrect
tec_ocd Mar 05, 2002	the Arctic has natives?
(user deleted) Apr 08, 2004	I would never eat a penguin egg even if i was starving. i would rather die than eat a penguin's egg. i love penguin's very very.... much.
Tongue-Twister Oct 31, 2004	I think the answer needs more explanation, good thought, though.
kodhrawara May 01, 2005	A better way to pose the question would be "Even if they are starving, polar bears will never hunt for penguins. Why not?" - 'Coz they are indigenous to opposite poles.'
sweetime Jun 01, 2005	mad-ade - it's "therefore"
teaserboy Aug 03, 2005	I LOVE PENGUINS!!! great teaser
Smudge Jun 14, 2006	Fun(ish), but too easy. I agree with what others have said, though...is Arctic natives (is there such a thing?) were handed a penguin's egg, they would eat it if starving. At first, i thought "because penguins don't lay eggs"...but then i realized that of course they do
elu93 Dec 02, 2006	I guess knowing penguins are in antarctica is all part of being a penguin enthusiast... nice teaser!
LeafFan4life Mar 04, 2007	yes it is nice good doggy good doggy
Trickster1992 May 01, 2007	oohhh i didnt think of that. stupid trick teasers.. lol good job though, cause everyone loves PENGUINS (and giraffes)
beyonce123 Jun 07, 2010	I have heard it like this: How many penguins can a polar bear eat in one week. The answer is none because they live on oppisite poles. I would never eat a penguin egg, penguins are sso cute. And I'm not even a vegetarian. Okay, I lied, I am a vegetarian BUT STILL!!!
beyonce123 Jun 07, 2010	Please excuse my horrific spelling errors. LOL I sound like one of those old, wise, British guys like Dumbledore except for nobody is as awesome as Dumbledore. Woo-Hoo.
thebrain789 Jun 30, 2010	Not all penguins, only emperor penguins live in Antarctica. For example, Galapagos penguins, of course, live on the Galapagos Islands. P.S. I'm a vegetarian, too!
dangerouspie101 May 09, 2012	i agree with the other s it was easy to think of but didnt make that much sense. I mmean if i was forced to, starving and hadnt eatten for days, of corse i would eat a penguin egg, but if I had the choice, i would rather avoid it.
