I know what happened...The kids were bored, and thought they unleash Dads weather balloon...This thing takes off over the neighborhood and the kids scatter....

Someone pops off with the comment, "Was anyone in the balloon" and the guy 10 feet away says, "Oh my God, someone is in the balloon" and the next thing ya know, "A missing 6 year old in in the balloon." lol...

Look lets be serious here and look at thing scientifically...

King Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?

1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

King Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried.

1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?

King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!

1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: 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.

King Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?

1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?

King Arthur: Please!
