I have never heard if the balloon or the parachute was invented first. I suspect, the balloon came first. I’m just thinking that there are enough high places in the world that you would think someone would want to jump off a cliff, or high bridge, to get to the bottom faster.

Yes, it sure reminds me of the time when While E. Coyote tried out those Acme bat wings he bought.

Apteryx sees his dream deferred – again. But his offspring are still a favored species in New Zealand. Not bad.

Thrust + Lift > Gravity + Drag or you won’t fly.

A flightless bird, just another one of God’s little jokes.

You’re probably gonna have to get that information from someone else.

Didn’t he always introduce himself? Something like, “Hi I’m an Apteryx: a winged bird that can’t fly. You look dead!”

No wonder he can’t fly: He has no wings. DUH, super obvious. I’ll bet even Nyan cat can do and say stupid stuff like that.
