The Air Speed Velocity Of An Unladen Swallow - Just In Case You Were Wondering

The air speed velocity of an unladen swallow, of the European variety, has been approximated to be 20.1 mph. That of the African Swallow (actually the South African Swallow) has not been determined and that's the bottom line in answer to the all time question of all questions!



If you were wondering about the second question of all time question of questions - whether or not a swallow can carry a coconut: Hypothetically, a European Swallow would be able carry a coconut (the world's smallest was somewhat over 3 ounces) from the tropics to England.




Just in case you doubt me, here is the so called evidence:


You just gotta love the information available on the Internet! Better yet, you have got to love Monty Python and their blockbuster movie Monty Python And The Holy Grail. The lasting effect this movie has had on folks has been tremendous as evidenced by someone answering the questions - of an unladen swallow's air speed velocity and answering the question as to whether or not a swallow could carry a coconut - in July 2019, some 44 years after the movie first debuted in 1975. If you have not seen it and want a laugh - watch it; if at least one or two things in it don't make you laugh hysterically - something is wrong with you.

All the best,
