You could, but then you wouldn't have a semi-clever riddle.

It's because female emperor penguins lay the egg, and then leave. The male is the one who actually keeps the egg warm, usually until it hatches. I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood of around 9 weeks, maybe.

By the time the female gets back to actually take care of the baby pengy, the male has lost most of his body weight because...surprise surprise...he couldn't go out looking for food! That's where the mother was this whole time, she was out stuffin' her beak full of fish.

So finally the female gets back and the male can go grab a bite to eat. ;)

he stood in the water,
but he kept with his head above the water, so he was in the water, but not "in" the water, get it?;)

At least, that's what I think

correct

A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "that's nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no types of equipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?
