Oct 22 2007Flying Boat Doesn't Fly High, Is Still Cool
Rudy Heeman, a New Zealand inventor, has developed a flying boat. It's a similar concept to this thing, but doesn't fly to crazy heights. Which is sweet, since you won't need a pilot's license to fly it. Rudy is still finalizing the design, so there's no word on price yet. All I know is that I want one. I'm going to use my kiddy pool to get airborne, then fly that bitch to the liquor store. I'm tired of riding the lawnmower everywhere.

Finally, us NZ'ers have something to be happy with... Until what #3 predicts comes true and we get branded with the name "decapitating sheep shaggers" til the end of time!
