They never listen.

I guess he won’t be drinking that beer now.

RedBull needed.

That happened to a guy who jumped off the Eiffel Tower. It’s recorded on silent film where his friends are trying (apparently) to talk him out of it.

Did he get the wings from Acme? And if so, were they recommended by Wile E. Coyote?

Maybe leave the giant rubber/wood/leather shoes behind on the next trial flight?

“A couple of mocking birds pushed him off the edge.”

Always a kibitzer in the crowd.

I hate to say I told you so, but…..

Even good advice seldom helps.

That new technology never worked for all the thousands that tried it…

His experiment DID make quite an impression or you might say an impact. He also proved that gravity works.

A partial success, he made it all the way to the bottom of the cliff.

I hope someone got that on video.

Maybe a higher cliff?

Nice crater.

Those that can’t do, become critics.

The only flaw in his planning.

Icarus never listens to anybody

He needs to change the wing load and decrease drag.

Yeah, some guys just don’t listen….wanna grap a pint?

oh well…live and learn…(or, maybe not live, in this case)

More feathers may not have helped him to fly, but they might have provided a softer “landing”.
