Peregrine falcon
I don't know Dave, I was just asking a question
Nope not a Peregrine falcon.
I should clarify this but I won't
Oh I see what you mean.
You mean the creature that goes through it's life cycle the fastest?
I'll guess the fruit fly. I used to run genetic experiments on them in college, 24hrs was all they got as I remember.
Either that or a modern pop star, they come and go pretty fast too.

LOL, yeah, thats pretty fast alright, you may be right, but what I read was the "Fastest On Record"
Not a life cycle Dave, this is referring to a creature moving from point a to point b.
Hint:
It jumps
EDIT:
If this creature were a CNC machine it would be traveling at 8,640 IPM
a flea?
Nope not a Flea, they come in at second place in jumping speed with a disappointing 4320 IPM and cover less then a foot, man, I like thought they could like jump across the room
The fasted thing would have to be my wife running after me after I snapped her arse with a wet bath-towel... :devious:

This would mean then that she caught you, BTW, how is the recovery and physical therapy going
Ah how about the guy who just broke the X-15 speed record in the X plane challenge, going mach whatever it was. Man is the answer. A man with a blue jumpsuit and sponsored by Microsoft. Forget his name, let's call him Doug.

Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.
Nope, not Doug
He flew not jumped.
Dave you may be a friend to the guy that discovered this fasted creature,
"Malcolm Burrows, a [/B] brain specialist seeking some ...... for his laboratory at Cambridge University in England, recently noticed that .........."
Dave I do not even want to know
He also offered this statement:
"Insect brains are a bit simpler than ours Now that is something to think on.
It's a bird....when diving for prey. Can't remeber which though.
Uhh! I don't understand that!
8 640 IPM = 13.16736 Km/h
Even I am faster than that, and a Cheetah is almost 10 times as fast.
Are you sure you're not talking about acceleration?
Because then any dragster is painfully sluggish in comparison.
Rick's right. It's a raptor.
I guess these birds would attack base jumpers as the peregrines get more aggression, hitting them so hard they almost crash into the cliff face.The peregrine is the fastest bird on record reaching horizontal cruising speeds of 65-90 kmh ( 40-55 mph) and not exceeding speeds of 105-110 kmh (65-68 mph). When stooping, the peregrine flies at much greater speeds however, varying from 160-440 kmh (99-273 mph)!
OMG!

Almost forgot, this bird is a survivor. It came back from near extinction in (i think) 97 or 99.

Nah I already said Peregrine falcon, second post, Ken says thats wrong.
How about that kickboxing shrimp in the Pacific?
So what's the answer.....KEN (chair)
I may have to cheat and Google that name (nope not a friend of mine)

OK I cheated.
A perigrine falcon would open up a whole 55 gallon drum of WHOOP ASS on that bug.
:boxing:
