 This is the first comic using a [[:Category:Facts|fact]] that is not a [[:Category:Fun fact|Fun fact]]. Instead it is a Science Fact.
-There is an {{w|Bumblebee#Flight|often repeated legend}} that according to the laws of aerodynamics, {{w|bumblebee}}s cannot fly. No theories of aerodynamics or mechanics have ever claimed such a thing, and the legend likely originates from a mathematical error that appeared in a 1934 book, written by a scientist who acknowledged that the conclusion was probably wrong.

 Here, [[Randall]] makes fun of the urban legend with some wordplay. "Fly" in English can refer to both flying under one's own power and the act of piloting a flying vehicle. The comic puts a bumblebee on top of a control column inside of an airplane and lets it fly the entire plane. But {{w|physicist}}s are still confused and don't know how the bees are able to accomplish this.

 The strip also creates a fallacy that when experts can't explain something, they must not be able to understand it. In this particular case, experts are unable to explain why bees can fly airplanes because they can't fly airplanes.{{Citation needed}}
