*** Late Edit ***

The original link (now replaced with the youtube link above) went to Reuters' front page, so the story changed periodically. So no, these things I do not want more then I want freaky circus sex:

• Ethiopian airstrikes.
  
• Economic sanctions against Iran.
  
• The death of the Godfather of Soul.
  
• A giant squid.

Well actually, a giant squid would be kind of cool. Not as cool as freaky circus sex, but close.

Pretty cool, but not really practical for a jaunt to work or a short trip to the market. But still really cool and a great step in that direction. My husband will drool over it.

Hell yes, I want one too! Lots of applications for those that I can think of already. Military, Search and Rescue, getting into remote areas like firetowers, racing, just for the fun of it...

Me want!

At first I was concerned with your link to an article about Ethiopian Airstrikes. It looks like the link on that page changes all the time.

However, I did manage to find another link to a specific reuters video. Fantastic, but he lands only slightly betterr than Rocketman, but he lookks a lot less like a hood ornament.
