    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
