      Ooooh, I hope so. Not betting on it too heavily, though. Unless the wings were made out of aluminium composites and stuck on a jumbo jet.

      What an odd question?! You’ve made me think of that strange flying thing from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace! I hope I’m not around if that ever happens to humans, because it probably means some kind of nuclear event happened!

      If it should occur naturally (i.e. by evolution) do not book your re-birth sooner than 5,000 years into the future… But I don’t see humans with wings happening- nope. But maybe that’s what the dinosaurs told each other, until Pterosaurs flew around 🙂

      This made me think of Icarus and his attempt to fly away. The myth says he flew too close to the sun and his wings (made of wax and feathers) melted, he fell into the sea and drowned.
