    Who counted them?
 Actually quite easy. Count the toenails and divide by three.

    You don't want to eat penguins.
 They taste like what they eat and they eat fish.

    Yeah, but what if you like fish?
It’s kind of a twofer isn’t it?

    Actually quite easy. Count the toenails and divide by three. When I did that I got over three million penguins.
