Martin Jetpack

The Martin Aircraft Company announces that it will be selling its personal helicopter "jetpack" for $75,000 a unit.

It doesn't seem very practical for day to day use, but I think I might buy one to keep in the secret room behind my office in case that whole death ray project goes sour. It'll mean installing explosive bolts in the roof, but it's good insurance.

    To quote Richard Hammond when he tested the Toyota wheelchair: "Will they make a big one for fat people?"

    It's a little ironic, if they had designed this to be used in one of those old Republic serials, the kids would have laughed it off the screen

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
