How fast does the ostrich have to run in order to take off?
He has to run 200 MPH EQUIVALENT, or 120 mph ACTUAL. If he had an internal speedo, it'd say 200 mph, and to the ostrich, it doesn't really matter, 'cause he can't fly in the first fucking place. He's an ostrich.

I believe an ostrich actually CAN take off at 120mph. [Wave]
