    But Ostriches and Emus are too heavy for those wings to carry them. They're fat!

    But Ostriches and Emus are too heavy for those wings to carry them. :( They're fat!
    Airplanes weigh more. Ergo ostriches can fly. Penguins too.

    Yeah, but they've got more flying power.

    For scientific proof, let us look towards Donkey Kong Country. As a computer, naturally, it's never wrong. The Ostrich in that game didn't fly.

    Even when this ape wasn't on top of the Ostrich, it could not fly. Collecting 3 golden ostriches shall show you this. Also, it was unable to fly with a 120 pound monkey on its back as well.

    bumblebees are fat for their wings. They fly. What now?

    The new system I am using at work defies all logic and reasoning. All the names for the same things are different, which makes it that much harder to navigate. It's horrible!

    Just something to get used to, I guess. Like penguins not flying. Incidentally, the BBC had a brilliant April Fools trailer featuring penguins flying to the rainforest for warmth!

    Obviously, they aren't TOO fat for their wings, otherwise they wouldn't fly.

    Dude that dog in the OP looks tasty.

    I don't know what kind of PETA crap they're trying to pull but it sure doesn't work on me.
    Don't read this.

    Seriously, just don't.

    How about Swallows? We all know they can fly, but how about if they're laden with, say, a coconut? Gripped by the husk?

    Then they won't fly, silly. Swallows are unable to carry coconuts because they're too heavy. Unless it's a balloon coconut.

    Would this be a European or African swallow?
