The Airspeed Velocity

You have always wondered. It has gnawed on the back of your conscience for a couple of decades. You’ve often thought it would be useful to know, but have never taken the time to look it up.

The air speed of a fairly typical unladen European swallow is estimated to be roughly 24 miles per hour.

You are welcome.

    1. Deep Thought 2

      Now, Weed, don’t go getting your Douglas Adams purist-panties in a twist, but that’s the ANSWER to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

      The QUESTION which Deep Thought 2 would have said was the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, would have been — in my humble opinion — “What is the air speed velocity of an unladen European swallow if read BACKWARD.”

      So you can be both on-topic and correct if I insert a babelfish into my ear and pretend I didn’t quite hear you right.

      1. AIGGGHHHHH!!!

        STOP!!! Now that you’ve revealed both the Question AND the Answer to the Life, The Universe, and Everything, the universe will cease to exist and be replaced with something even more inexplicable!!!

        Of course, some say that’s already happened…

          Now I know it all … ha ha ha ha …

          First it was to never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line. Now concluding with the answer to life and the universe – My journey has completed…

          1. My journey has completed.. I

            My journey has completed..

            I do not think that word means what you think it means.

            Besides, I do not think you would accept my help, since I am only only waiting around to kill you.

            Feh. I fart in your general direction. You have just opened a door into a larger world.

            Your mother is a hamster and your father smells of Elderberries!

            Gee Ricky, I’m really sorry your mom blew up.
