Aug 7 2009Chinese Farmer Builds Wooden Roflcopter
Some guy in China went and made his own helicopter entirely out of wood. Except for the engine. Because wooden engines are stupid. Admit it, maple motor, you are dumb!
20 year old Chinese farmer Wu Zhongyuan built himself a helicopter using only -- according to the man -- what he remembers of middle school physics lessons and "relevant knowledge [found while] surfing the Internet via my mobile phone."
His single-seater conveyance has blades made from the wood of an Elm tree, a frame reinforced with steel pipes and uses an engine from a motorcycle -- all for around $1,600. Wu claims the 'copter can get him as high as 2,600 feet, though it seems he's grounded for the time being as the Chinese government has forbid him to fly because of safety reasons.
First of all -- 2,600 ft? Sure you're not exaggerating a little, Wu? By say, oh I dunno, 2,599 and 3/4 feet? Also, that is just like a government to prevent a man from having any fun. Know what I'm sayin'? Legalize it!

Oh come on you can tell that is completely fake! The perspective is completely wrong it's just photoshop nothing more. If you can't tell you are blink this is the wooden helicopter from Rocky 4 after the TV station says he could have beaten the current world champion. And he jumps into his helicopter. FAKE!

Hey, Pew three pee O - is this the one I'm supposed to jump out of? Too bad it's grounded. I might skin my knee if I'm drunk.

WTF does "Ashton Kutcher defies God's will, escapes death" have to do with Geekologie.....
29. shadwag - August 7, 2009 4:31 PM
@ 20 "your clearly an idiot". priceless.
"your" is something that belongs to me. "you're" is a combination of the words "you" and "are". do you follow? it is a minor detail and generally doesn't bother me...unless the person doing it calls me an idiot. if you weren't a worthless shit chugging troll you would have paid enough attention over the past few days to know what i was referencing.
is there anything else in life that you suck at? i would be more than happy to bring you up to speed. until 5pm est, that is. after that i will be socializing with real people.
