We should have colonized the moon by now, too
This is really neither here nor there, but: Where the hell are our personal jet packs?

We were all promised jet packs, and we're actually way behind schedule. Maybe if scientists spent a little less time "curing disease," and a little more time focused on personal jet propoulsion technology, we'd get some results. It's been, like, fifty years since the end of the second World War, and all we've got to show for it so far is the goddamn Segway, for Christs' sake.

I'm just saying.

This isn't a picture from "Prince of Space" is it?

My bad. I had to go save Jennifer Connelly. You'll thank me for taking it when your feet become the twelfth ingredient in Colonel Sander's Secret Recipe.

Plus, we've got do-it-yourself breeder reactors. and fucking Australians making cruise missiles in thier backyard for $5,000. Who needs jetpacks?


Unlesss This is legit. I also once stumbled upon a military prototype that hovered two feet off the ground and reached past your feet so as not to burn your legs off, but I can't find a picture of it now.

Hey, if you're going to bash the Segway, you could at least show me some love while you're at it.

Did you see the episode of COPS where the criminal gets chased down by the cop with an artificial leg? That's what I think getting caught by a cop on a Segway would be like.

Does it have a siren? That'd be neat!
