I'm sick of Jay's smug assertions from his self-appointed throne as "expert". Landing on the water is hazardous. Who would dare to do such a thing without it being proven safe first? He'd have to be quackers to attempt it!

Therefore, it's not a duck, but a squid!

P.S. The Russians abandoned their duck effort after being unable to make one fly with the required two feet of feather-shielding all round it.
