Fun Facts: Les Ânes Ailés translates to "the winged donkeys". It's an old Italian expression, gli asini volanti, which implies that if you believe donkeys can fly, you are a naive fool. In a moment of personal utopianism, Kikko came up with this name based on how impossible it felt that he'd actually succeeded in starting his own project in the most unprobable of places. In this case, the donkeys actually had wings.
