A Mystery of the Universe Revealed!

Yes, we finally have a scientific answer to that age-old question, what is the average airspeed velocity of an unlaiden swallow?

The article is actually rather old, having been created in 2003, but it is still an excellent scientific jaunt into the world of avian airspeeds.

For those not wanting to read the article, swallows (both the African and European varieties) have surprisingly efficent flight dynamics meaning they, on average, go about 11 meters a second or about 24 miles an hour, unlaiden.

Take THAT, Bridgekeeper/Old Man From Scene 24!
