I opened this thread expecting to see something to do with deep-fried chicken wings. I feel cheated.

Imagine being on a boat in the channel and seeing this crazy lunatic flying overhead.  You'd go home and tell everyone about it and they'd wanna lock u up.  "I swear there was a flying man, he had wings and...and...Honest!!  No please dont put me in that strait jacket, im not maaad, i saw it, i did, i did!" :D
