Questions

1. Do pelicans ever collide midair, as they're both diving for the same fish? 1A. Do they ever accidentally divebomb a person? 1B. Has anyone ever died from a pelican collision?

2. Do you think I could fit out of an airplane window? I don't. I think even if I made it out halfway I'd get stuck somewhere around the pelvic girdle and then the people behind me inside would panic and try to push me out and they'd break me in two. So I'm probably not going to try it.

3. Do you think that, from the ground, airplanes on the same flight path on different days look closer/farther away? I do. I think it has something to do with the earth's rotation, sun's positioning, weather conditions, and trigonometry, but I'm not smart enough to figure it out by myself.

If you know the answers to any of these, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

I don't know if a person's ever died from a pelican-related injury, but you know that woman died in Florida just a couple of weeks ago from a collision with some huge manta ray thing that just happened to be leaping from the water as her boat went by, right?
