The Impossibility of Flying Heavy Aircraft Without Training

An ostrich after all, with all it's feathers, CAN'T FLY.

Oh, come now. You need to apply mathematical and scientific reasoning.
It's already been experimentally established that it takes two pounds
of feathers to lift ten pounds of Canada goose. An ostrich weighs much
more than ten pounds, but does not have a commensurate amount of
feathers. Feathers are not magical, they operate by strict scientific
principles and an insufficient amount of feathers won't even make a
fruit fly.

If you want to convince me that it's not feathers, do some experiments.
Attach a pound of feathers for every five pounds of ostrich, and toss
the ostriches out of an airplane. Do this a statistically significant
number of times, and then we'll talk turkey.

So, after the test flight, how do you get down from your
mechanical goose?

Surely everybody knows you don't get down off a goose, you
get down off a
duck (eider for preference).

Eddie Bauer uses goose down. Jack Bauer never ever sleeps
and saves the world every 24 hours. Aunt Bea learned how to
fly and soloed on Andy Griffith [a really good episode], but
she usually cooked birds.
I heard that fast airplanes go so fast because the aluminum
is afraid of noise, the more noise the harder the aluminum
tries to get away.

Penguins have feathers and can't fly because the air is too
thin, but they can fly in water. Humans don't have feathers
and can't even fly in water. I did see a video of a guy who
jumped out of a helicopter wearing a batsuit and flew down a
mountain

and it looked very cold. Maybe cold makes people fly?


How do you get down from a horse? Some people fall off.

If flies didn't have wings would they be called walks?

Feathered fruit flies. Fruit flies like a banana.
