As I understand it, the statement was more along the lines of:

"Given our current understanding of aerodynamics, we (the Scientific
Community) are unable to explain how the bumble bee can fly"

The media turned that into "Scientists Say Bumble Bee Can't Fly"
and we've been misquoting it ever since.

Heath content:

I enjoy using my Heath equipment.  I really enjoyed building it.
When I was a kid, I would get a Heathkit for Christmas, and spend
my holiday vacation putting it together, sometimes working late into
the wee hours of New Years morning.

If I were to find an unbuilt Heathkit today at a reasonable price,
I would build it - as that would be the closest I could come to
real time travel.
