I thought it was more strangely odd than oddly strange. I was particularly intrigued by the line "Did you get those wings that you worked so hard for?". It made me think: what is the point in angel wings? Do they use them to fly? Does that mean that in the spiritual realm, the normal laws of aerodynamics apply? If I chopped off an angel's wings, would he be unable to fly? And why do they use flight as their primary means of transportation as opposed to any other means (such as walking quickly, or teleportation)? God doesn't have wings. Does that mean He can't fly? Could God fly down to Earth and swoop around a bit then fly back up to heaven again? Good Christ I hope so.

In fact, I think that "Can God fly?" is one of the most important theological questions of the 21st Century. Thanks.
