He probably made all that up so it would be impossible tp get someone executed for witchcraft. If she really does weigh the same as a same as a duck, then she probably is a real witch. In the real Middle Ages, getting someone legally executed for witchcraft was much more difficult than pop culture makes it seem because the church and government would've had to have had believed in witchcraft in the first place. (But then this is Monty Python, and one of the team members was an actual historian who was just mocking people who romanticize the era rather.)

I really didn't understand the joke. Deriving the airspeed velocity of a dove under coconut load is a valid data point, that can obviously be used to approximate that of a locally unavailable species, say an African swallow, to get a ballpark figure. The joke fails at a fundamental level, unlike the rest of the scene concerning the witch, because the action of testing a dove under load is entirely logical and therefore not a subject of comedy at all, and as such should not be present in this film picture. I did, many years ago, write into Points of View on this very issue, but to date have not received an acknowledgement of my complaint, let alone a reply.

It's like watching two paranoid schizophrenic homeless men meet and begin earnestly discussing their shared delusions once the second man chimes in that the flying squid's of the first man's delusions are, in fact, also telepathic.

I'm far more amused by their reaction to the realization that if the witch is made out of wood, they can check that by seeing whether she floats, and consequently try to rush her off to throw her into a pond. The notion that failing to prove she is a witch will cause them to drown somebody innocent was entirely beyond them.
