This question is dangerous. In the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, anyone who gave the wrong answer was hurled off a bridge into a deep gorge. Well, no more! According to the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Ornithology, a European swallow flies at 9 meters per second, or 20 miles per hour. Of course, swallows don't fly at the same speed all the time. They slow down before they land, and they can put on a short burst of speed to escape from hawks or other predators. The Audubon Society Encyclopedia of North American Birds reports that in 1930, the driver of a car in California noticed a barn swallow flying at 46 miles per hour. (American barn swallows are the same species as the European swallow.) I don't know why that bird was in such a hurry, but my guess is that it was flying like mad to get away from the big metal monster chasing it down the highway.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Well, actually, part of the job description of a Moderator is to read every forum post you come across. So, yes, Bungie is actually forcing him to look at this forum. This thread, too, while we're at it.

Actually, nobody in Monty Python and the Holy Grail was hurled off the bridge of death for not answering the question correctly. The old man from Scene 24 only actually asked Arthur this question, and Arthur didn't have to answer it, because he did the old counter-question trick.
