Flamingo Pelican Penguin Swan 15 hours ago, Gail said: Penguin That's my guess too! Answer: All 18 species of penguin are unable to fly, and are in fact better built for swimming and diving. Penguins are birds, so they do have wings. However, the wing structures of penguins are evolved for swimming, rather than flying. Penguins lost the ability to fly as they developed more efficient wing-propelled diving skills that allowed them to better forage for food at increasing depths of the ocean. Penguins swim underwater at speeds of up to 15 to 25 miles per hour. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Recently I had a chance to visit the Kansas City Zoo and their penguin exhibit was so much better! The penguins had the ability to swim as fast as they want--and boy did they swim fast! I wish my cell phone battery hadn't died because it would be great to have video of them swimming like that. phkrause 1 Quote

Ada Lovelace Clara Barton Marie Curie Sally Ride 17 hours ago, Aubrey said: Ada Lovelace I had heard an interview on NPR, not that long ago, about this! I couldn't remember her name, but I knew it wasn't Clara Barton or Marie Curie. Had never heard of Sally, but I had heard of Ada! Answer: A gifted mathematician, Ada Lovelace is considered to have written instructions for the first computer program in the mid-1800s. Because she introduced many computer concepts, Ada is considered the first computer programmer. Ada Lovelace's contributions to the field of computer science were not discovered until the 1950s. Since then, Ada has received many posthumous honors for her work. In 1980, the U.S. Department of Defense named a newly developed computer language "Ada," after Lovelace.

Alan Shepard Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin John Glenn I guessed Buzz Answer: While on the moon, Alan Shepard used a Wilson six-iron head attached to a lunar sample scoop handle to hit two golf balls, becoming the first and only person to play golf on the moon. Only a handful of people in NASA knew of Shepard's plan when, after an extended excursion on the lunar surface, he pulled out the club, and dropped two balls on the moon. Despite thick gloves and a stiff spacesuit which forced him to swing the club with one hand, Shepard struck two golf balls; driving the second, as he jokingly put it, "miles and miles and miles." Since Shepard’s famous shot, no other astronaut has attempted to hit a ball off the moon. But in my mind I knew it was Alan!!

Allstate GEICO Aflac Esurance 7 hours ago, Aubrey said: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFLACK! Most definitely!! Answer: Aflac Inc. (American Family Life Assurance Company) is the largest provider of supplemental insurance in the United States and was founded in 1955. Since December 1999, the company's identity and brand has become more widely recognized as the result of TV commercials featuring the Aflac Duck, who frustratingly quacks the company's name to unsuspecting prospective policy holders. The Aflac Duck character has now starred in more than 30 commercials. The Aflac Duck is enshrined on Madison Avenue's Walk of Fame as one of America's Favorite Advertising Icons.

Answer: Jerry Garcia was a singer-songwriter and guitarist best known for his work with the band the Grateful Dead, which came to prominence during the counterculture era in the 1960s. Though he disavowed the role, Garcia was viewed by many as the leader or "spokesman" of the group. One of its founders, Garcia performed with the Grateful Dead for their entire thirty-year career. He was well known for his distinctive guitar playing and was ranked 46th in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" cover story. Garcia died of a heart attack in August 1995.
