That sounds like a good qrivia question. I mean come on a bird and a little penny everbody would say the penny is lighter.

Its halfway true though, the smallest hummingbird is the Bee Hummingbird but there are Hummingbirds that way more then a penny.

Some of the smallest hummingbirds, perhaps. But most weigh more than a penny.

Heh, partial truth = whole truth.

Thanks, Snapple. Now, one of these times when I'm around some people, someone's going to point to a hummingbird and say (quite proudly of his wisdom) "hummingbirds weigh less than a penny. I betcha didn't know that." But, if it's on a snapple cap, it must be true.
