    I didn’t notice the legs at first, and given the reflection in the water, I though it was just hovering there, like some sort of swanicopter.

      Swanicopter is a very funny world, probably laughed at it longer than I should have

      Thank you

      Black swans are black because they’re 78% antimatter. In addition to appearing black the antimatter causes their bodies to occasionally display unexpected, and highly unpredictable, physical behaviors. One of these behaviors is hovering, much like a swanicopter would.
