His soul was gods but his body was cooked.

Little known fact: Back in the day the FAA (friars aviation administration) was hastily created to investigate this unique tragedy that had greatly upset the public. Their investigation ultimately wrote the incident off to a brain disorder they termed a "bird strike", but many of the deceased monk's allies angrily called it nothing but a bunch of political tail feathers. The FAA, and in fact the bird strike term, have changed somewhat over the years but basically still remain in existence.

@perrone1 Kind of strange really; by being a Tuck down he became a bit of a Tuck up.

The Flying Friar, as he was affectionately called posthumously, was a tremendous hit.
I heard the people there said he fell flat on his face.

@jkuvakas People were shocked to learn at his funeral service that the Flying Friar's birth name was Landon Mellin.

They can criticize all they want but the Friar did make his mark in life. IMO he did well, considering he was literally making the attempt on a wing and a prayer.

Q: What's the last thing that goes through a flying Friar's mind when he hits the ground?
A: His sandals
