    Hahaha +rep for that.
    It's like JFK announcing the moon mission. He had no expertise in space travel, and no way of knowing if it would work. He just announced "we're going to the moon" and then they made it happen because everyone was on the same page and working towards the same goal. If he had said "well, let's get some people in space, and we'll see how far out we can get, and if I find someone to make a rocket strong enough, we could possibly approach the moon's orbit and maybe land" it wouldn't have happened.

    That depends. Did you specifically train the swallows to use teamwork to carry large objects using a harness? If no, no it wouldn't work.

    Watching someone else use your computer is like watching a drunk orangutan solve a rubix cube. They have no idea what they're doing and you just wish they'd hand you the damn thing so you can do it yourself.

    What if you taped the Swallows together to force them to fly in the same direction?

    European, since African swallows aren't migratory.

    Does it have an SD option for expanding storage?

    Nope. Just another great 'feature' brought to you by Apple.
