Fantastic! Love it. Can you keep tabs on it and post back when they've announced the results?

Even I know that penguins don't ride bikes so that would have been a waste of money.

The human race; anything that adds to the sum of all human knowledge is useful, and to be valued.
Otherwise we might as well be still sat in caves picking lice out of each other's hair.

Back on a serious note - who will benefit? Well I don't know, but if we all sit back assuming things aren't bothering understanding about, then we won't learn new things will we?

Ug to his mate Eh: 'Round thing, roll down hill, why? How?'

Eh: Dunno, me sleep now.

Well played Drac, well played.

Worth it just for the footage of nonconformist penguins, and the dude waddling. Penguins are ace.

I expect it was good practice at applying certain modelling techniques to a new area. That could have all sorts of applications.

When they discovered electricity they didn't know what to do with it.

So its actually a good idea to study stuff just for the sake of finding out more stuff.

It is this distinctive walk that scientists from RVC and [b]University of Texas at Austin[/b] are here to study.

Maybe this is how Lance is going to do his TdF Charity Challenge!
