Your hope is in vain.

That publication revels in nonsense reporting that is taken seriously and the report is attributed to a Monty Python team member.

Take a look at those fat birds and their wings - they couldn’t fly unless you strapped rocket motors to their backs.

April fools!

Bees cannot fly according to their aerodynamics. But don’t tell them.

But I agree, this is a very good illustrated April Fool’s joke.

I love the picture of them migrating to warm climes. That’s a classic.

"VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!

That's not to say it hasn't been tried!

Witness the evil "Batman Returns" megapenguin!!

Okay, okay, so they were *carrying* the rockets for launch, not using them for flight propulsion. But, a little superglue potentially provides a repurposing of the penguin (as it were). I, for one, believe the idea has merit!
