So, why the fuck did it take me 2 hours to get home on Monday after school? I live in Sackville, its really not that far. Both bridges were fucked and they decided to keep construction going on the Bedford Highway at rush hour? At least send more buses or figure something out so people aren’t stuck on a bus for an hour and a half, late and having to pee. —Moving Downtown

It doesn’t matter how many buses are running. I was in a car and could go down side streets and it took me an hour and 15 minutes to get home.
Move downtown, Dawn’ll love you.
Catch the MT Helicopter ! haha
I’m hi-jacking your bitch; it’s lame.
I saw this today, I still can’t figure if it is a joke or not.
Iran has new Super-Stealth-Boat-Planes.

If it’s another hoax, the media should wear it 😉
maybe you should plan ahead a bit more, and get there a bit earlier.
Hugo – Google “Caspian Sea Monster” to see what the Soviets tried to do with ground effect technology.
Sure is a beaut, I remember seeing it on the box years ago. Great idea, never did get developed did it? Spruce Goose
Gotta love that old Soviet obsession with gigantism. They messed around with the idea but never put it to practical applications. I’ve got the Revell Germany model of the A-90 Orlonyok which was a slightly smaller variant. I’ve got a real love for aviation’s dead ends – ekranoplans, autogyros, Zeppelins, etc.
Interesting point about the Goose. My knowledge of the science of flight scarcely goes much past “Big Plane Go Now!” but some aviation specialists believe that Hughes never got it out of the ground effect zone. All depends on how you define “flight”, I suppose.
Autogyros – weren’t they the old model Ts with the overhead propeller that shook like an epileptic washing machine?
I fucking love those old newsreels! The plane with 7 wings that folds in on itself, the jumping model T, the guy on skates with the rockets on his back. LMFAO >: )
Best use of an autogyro in a movie – toss up between Little Nellie in “You Only Live Twice” and The Sky Captain’s flying machine in “Road Warrior”
…and now I have “Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines” shawshanking it’s way through my brain. I bought the Old man the DVD a couple of years back. He and his ultra-light buddies screen it at their annual Fly-In, Pig-Roast and Piss-Up
Check out the current collection of man-powered air flight – some of these are fucking priceless:

Looks like some students in Ontario just made the first official flight of a human powered ornithopter(bird flapping motion wings). Saw it on Daily Planet some night this week.

Boggles my mind!
Traffic turns gnarly when fuck-wads have accidents…..especially on the bridges. The Bridge Patrol need to get bazookas installed on the front of their SUVs, or at least a forklift to flip those broken down vehicles into the harbour from the bridge.
