#11  I just noticed the guy in the article's from Luton, England. Not surprising. Luton's like Cuba - people'll do anything to get away from it.

#7  That is class. The wheelchair idea's good - would obviate the need for ramps outside public buildings, for instance, it the thrust was directable to enable flight - but .com's thrust throne is the bee's knees. I think that dude's dozing off. Cool.

#6  The brakes are when you run out of fuel. Should be pretty quick considering you can't carry alot. I also think the beer-holder is right above the left-kneecap of the rider.

#1  Too funny... May be we can arrange one for Arafish, although I'd rather see him outfitted for a jet-powered coffin.
