That reminds me of the great swallow debate from Monty Python. LOL

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?
