In the spirit of March PIFing Madness, I have a nice ball-end TECH and a (used once) puck of HTGM Coconut Bay SS that need a new home.

This PIF is open to anyone with a CONUS shipping address who doesn't already have a TECH. If the winner happens to be a newbie (under 50 posts), I'll also throw in a couple blades to try.

The PIF closes this Friday (the 14th) at 5pm (EDT). Sometime after that, Edmund, the Chief Penguinator, will pick a winner with some help from random.org.

To enter, post a TECH-nical fact about penguins (the animal, not the hockey team).

This makes me wish I didn't have a tech. Great PIF!

An unusual fact about penguins is that in 1973 the last NHL goalie (Andy Brown- Pittsburg Penguins) appeared in a game without a mask.


***ETA while going through my big box of crap, I found a tech I forgot I had. Not In.

I have a couple of Techs that work very well for me, so I'm not in. Good luck to everyone who enters.

wrong penguins, but I'll let it slide.

NOT in but thanks for giving people a chance to try out a very classic razor!

I do not have a Tech so I'm in
Penguin Fact:

Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in Antarctica

Nils Olav is a Colonel-in-Chief in the Norwegian Army.

Emperor Penguins are the largest species and as a side note it's my understanding that they're excellent singers and a few like to dance.

I don't have a Tech, so count me in.

I'm in, emperor penguins hold their eggs in their feet until they hatch and then get downy feathers.

Penguins mate for life. Not in

This is sad =P if they only knew what other birds were capable of

I'm in! Penguins have the highest feather density of any bird, 100 feathers per square inch.

In. Penguin is one of Batman's arch enemies.

I'm in. Other than they eat fish, I don't know much about penguins but this is one of my favorite videos to make me laugh. It does need sound to be at it's funniest!

I'm in.
Penguin fact: Chilly Willy was an animated penguin on the Woody Woodpecker show. Chilly Willy was frozen through and through. Chilly Willy went "Ah, eee, aachooo."

I'm in!

While most penguin species are not sexually dimorphic (male and female penguins look alike), during mating season you might be able to distinguish the female penguin from the muddy footprints on her back left by males during mating

I'm in. The penguin species with the highest population is the Macaroni penguin with 11,654,000

I'm in. I haven't tried a vintage razor yet. The smallest penguin species is the fairy penguin. They only grow to about 17" high and weigh around 12 pounds. The largest species is the emperor penguin which can be 47 or more inches tall and weigh as much as 90 pounds.

I'm in. Love to try a Tech.

Penguins stay with their partner for life! Humans should take lessons, I know I am!

Penguins in Antarctica gather together in huge groups in the winter to keep warm. They use body heat and rotated into and out of the center of the circle to share the heat. A nice model of cooperation and compromise.
Please count me in.
