Chariots of the Gods Now Available for Home Use!
 
Flying Saucers Go Into Production ...

A flying saucer that glides three metres off the ground and carries two passengers has gone into commerical production. US company Moller International has begun to manufacture parts for its Jetsons-like personal flying pod, the M200G Volantor.

The M200G is the size of a small car and is designed to take off and land vertically.

Company founder Dr Moller calls the craft "the ultimate off-road vehicle" as it is able to travel over any surface."It's not a hovercraft, although its operation is just as easy," said the aeronautical engineering boffin.

Did this man forsee this event?

Can this man stop the production of flying saucers?

Moller International is my client. I've typed and prosecuted his patent applications. Seriously. I think this is cool!

Why am I picturing a flying saucer swanking in the Mojave, clothing-optional?

If those things weren't so bloody loud, I'd be all over this. Funny how they compare it to the Jetsons - those vehicles made an awesome noise, not a deafening one.

Perhaps we should make this book our next book club read:

Heh - Lisa also pulled this one out for me to peruse at Border's last night. It was very pretty, but why would you want something like this constantly reminding you of our failures?
