If only there was a train, that was capable of travelling at 600mph, and that did not require tracks between its origin and destination. Also maybe it could be suspended in air somehow, so that more than one could occupy the same volume of space...

But let's make it a real train, with closely-linked wagon airships for cargo and passengers, and with profiled locomotive airships at both ends.

This isn't insane, but it's aeronautical something or other. http://www.krem.com/mobile/article/...o/293-492496113 The fact that an airborne cock and balls is a cause for anger and not laughter shows that America is really, really wound too tight.

I'm pretty sure it's laughter from 20 year old bros, and anger from 50 year old representatives of stodgy institutions, same as it would have been in any era.

Emergency services were called to the site at Waddesdon Hill, near Waddesdon Manor, near Aylesbury, at 12:06 GMT. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has sent a team to investigate. Well that's not gone well. Wonder which of them was showing off, or if it was both of them?

I wonder how many extra lovely PowerPoint presentations every enlisted dude in the Navy is going to have to sit through because of this. Combined with all the extra ones to tell them to stop crashing boats into other boats I have to wonder how much time they'll actually have to defend America and contain the norks or whatever.
