yes, but, what if its carrying a coconut???

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

What -- a swallow carrying a coconut? A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut.

[squiddeh.livejournal.com]

he was carrying it by its husk!

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios!

[squiddeh.livejournal.com]

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

Listen, in order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right?

It could be carried by an African swallow!

[you are correct, but lets just say I don't look to Monty Python for truisms]

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow, that's my point.

When I saw this on /.

I was wondering which of my friends would pick up the coconut and run with it.
