Fruit flies have feathers?


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

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.

Nope. It went staight down. Splat!

Did you put the feathers on the =outside= of the pillow? They have to
be outside, in the airflow, to provide any lift at all.

Not only that, I'll bet he didn't give the pillow any directions, as to
which direction to fly. The pillow thought it was *supposed* to fly
straight down!

No, no! The feathers were from Oz and the pillow really was flying.

Feathered fruit flies. Fruit flies like a banana.

I suspect the problem is that the pillow was filled with "down" feathers.
You need "up" feathers.
