        @neiltyson The wings are just for steering. They're chubby because they're full of helium.

        @neiltyson @LucyWithSword that's secondary surely to the impossible musculoskeletal system required for effective wings in chubby child form

        @chaosmagician23 But is it appeal to authority if it's a seraph who points it out ?

        @chaosmagician23 @seraph_jesrad You should run a service: WhatsThisAngel. "Yeah, I've got wheels within wheels and so many eyes..."
