Can penguins fly?
On Saturday, The Silent Penguin will be taking to the skies to see if in fact it is true that penguins can't fly. The experiment will be conducted by moi being taken up to a height of 4 Kilometers (doesn't that sound higher than 4000 Meters?) and then leaping out of a plane. I will then attempt to flap my arms to see what happens.
To be on the safe side I hope to be attached to someone carrying some pieces of silk.

A bad case of midlife crisis, I pressume? ;)

It should be sufficient to have it attached to yourself. As well as a long long line to the plane.
That's what I did a few years ago, well before my midlife crisis (which mathematically won't be for another 8-13 years, depending on how old I plan to get).
