haha - that's like running into a clock store and demanding someone TELL YOU the time!
BTW what IS the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour ;)

Here is the answer
Assuming the bird is a European swallow, it will probably flap its wings about 15 times per second and travel at a rate of 0.22 meters per beat. One method to determine the air speed velocity is to plug these values into the following equation:
U=3fA,
where f is the number of times the swallow flaps its wings per second and A is how far it travels per flap. Insert our values for f and A into the equation, and you have:
U=3*15*0.22=9.9m/sec
Hence, the air speed velocity of an unladen European swallow is about 9.9 meters per second.
Haha, I get to cross the bridge right?

Um, are you just making up the variables in those equations? In Physics A=Acceleration and F=Force, and a weird looking greek U=Coefficient of Friction.

True, but has there ever been a funnier comedy troupe? I think not!
"Bring us ... a shrubbery!"
"Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!"
"Always look on the bright side of life (doo doo da doo da doo da doo)"
"Does she go, eh? Does she go?"
"That ... is an ex-parrot!"
"On Wednesdays I go shoppin' and have buttered scones for tea."
"Your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberries!"
This Monty Python review has been brought to you by the letter P and my first cup of coffee.

I must admit that there was a phase we went through as teenages when we would go see it on Friday nights and go through all the motions. The things we did to amuse ourselves!
