Soldier #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!
Soldier #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
Soldier #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?

Laminar-flow airfoils with thrust-augmented flaps and boundary-layer suction can really help w/STOL capability, especially in cold, high-density air... although that doesn't explain how they fly home.

Any believer of man made global warming would take that as the truth, if Al Gore showed it to them.

It's a well known fact....penguins have been flying for years...they learned it from the pigs. (Pigs were forced to fly from the brutality of Muslems).

Its a trick - The penguins only jump up, its the ground that is moving.

I think penguins DO fly, they just use water as a medium instead of air.
