LOL, this was first thing which came to my mind:

They look low and slow. With such a short wing span, they don't really fly as much as they ride on the compressed air between the lower wing surface and the surface of the earth.
It's one of those "for all intents and purposes" things. Yes, they fly, no they don't fly.

They also look very ease to shoot down. Go get em' Snoopy!

In related news. . . Brazil has just announced the successful genetic engineering of a starfish with nipples.

And pulled from the same blog, a major campaign donor to the Democrat campaign for Georgia governor has just gotten sued for the fourth time for soliciting sex from underage boys:

It's okay though, he's a Democrat so it's not hypocritical.  ::)

Can't imagine how loud the headlines would have been if he'd have supported McCain in 2008.

Hey, they got a lot of use for their $25.00 plans they ordered from Popular Mechanics.

Here is a spy pic of their new stealth rapid response boat.

That may be the stupidest looking helo I've ever seen.  They should go ahead and make the windshield higher and let the pilot steer with a pair of ape-hangers!  Gimme a Warthog any day!

That depends on who is flying it, doesn't it?

Ahh! You are correct.  If Chuck Norris was flying it, he could kill everyone. :o

You know, Chuck Norris once passed a kidney stone without so much as a tear.  We now call it the moon.

Somehow, I've heard about this repeatedly over the last couple of days, although I hadn't previously heard the info about who his donees were.
