He also explained why one leg of a V formation of migrating geese is invariably longer than the other.
Is it because geese, like pilots, like to keep traffic on their left? I wonder if the ponds they land in are more likely to be left-hand circuits and if they have appropriate noise abatement & "dump" procedures. (I'm actually curious about his answer to the V formation leg thing.)

Maybe he was just being silly to see if you'd buy it, like misd-agin was about the cross-wind LNAV. (I admit, I thought he was serious at first...)
