It's crazy that a 60 ton metal airplane can just fly

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
"It's just always exciting! That amazing moment when twelve tonnes of metal leaves the earth... and no-one knows why!"
"Yes, we do."
"Yeah, but, you know, not really. I mean, we know you need wings, and engines, and a sticky-up bit on the end for some reason, but it's not like we actually know why a plane stays in the air."
"No. No, Arthur, we really do! We- we do, we do know that!"
I don't know why but I thought that said "Archie" instead of "Arthur", and read that as Archie and Edith Bunker....and it kind of worked. From the later seasons, when Edith was getting sick of his shit.
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
