I LOL'ed at "mating behavior often observed by a hidden David Attenborough".

Oh, sure, when I do with birds, I'm a naturalist, but when I do it with people, I'm a perv!

I mean if you went against an Emu, it could probably take a punch. I wouldn't recommend it, though.

Weren't planes already "working" in the 19th century?

Wright Brothers are 1903. Even gliders are only 1890s. By 1919 planes go past 30,000 ft. Tech progress was fast when my grandparents were kids. Now we get the iPhone 7.

1890s are still 19th century, depending on what you call a plane.

Just take a look at a pre-20th century glider. Basically fragile hanggliders flown by maybe low two digit number of people.

How many passengers are required for a plane to be a plane?

How about not having to run when you land? (i.e. hang glider)

Why?

Are wing suits planes? In that case, Superman is a plane.

Superman could even fly naked!
