Yay SM! I didn't say the fastest ON two feet! And yes, the fastest thing on two feet is an ostrich (or according to Ray Stevens, the Streak). Oct 15 03, 7:19 AM

To back up SM's answer, the pergrine falcon can reach 320kph (around 200mph) in a dive. An ostrich can run at an average 50kph (30mph), but faster when it sprints. http://www.earthsky.com/2002/es020223.html Oct 15 03, 8:55 AM
