>>but, um, raptors had feathers...Superman does not. Superman flies by using
the energy gained by exposure to the yellow light of earth's sun for
propulsion. The guy can't even get his facts straight about
superheroes(sigh...)<<

Ah, that's how Superman flies! I've wondered about that for most of my life!
I just see him extending his arms forward... Thanks for the info!!! Maybe
that's how we can get *Megalancosaurus* to glide... :->
Someone calculated that the airfoil shape and area of Superman including his
cape _will_ actually keep him in the air once he has reached 200-something
km/h. Sorry, just couldn't resist.
