Anonymous Unregistered	I still don't get why this is such a mystery to people... I'm not getting into the debate at all, I just think that it's a dumb concept if you understand the physics involved with flying a plane.

Ohhhhh.....it's ALL so confusing. But the Aftrican swallow is non-migratory. OK....so what if he runs faster than the treadmill....takes off....and then flies around the block, dropping the coconut down a chimney.....and then lands on the treadmill again? Will he be able to land on the treadmill?....or will its motion prevent him from landing? And, regarding the dropped coconut.....what if there is a fire in the fireplace attached to the chimney he drops it down?....Will the coconut burn....or will it burn only enough to release the milk, which then puts out the fire? _________________________ Brad & RedX http://www.metzgardesign.com
