From which we can conclude that 4.5 billion years ago it would've been 635 000km above the surface of the Earth! Since that's silly the Earth obviously has to be much younger. :P

Anywho, There's a species of squid that can 'fly' through the air for 50 yards, they also leap 6 feet out of the water and can achieve speeds of up to 45 mph. I can just picture some early sailor standing on deck when all of a sudden a squid bullet flies alongside his boat and off into the distance...
