Why are we watching this? Does it even belong on the Sift? It seems we're just sitting here watching and judging another human being who is obviously in distress and pain.

April Fool isn't for 2 more weeks. I call real. Also, if you read the article it's clear that flapping does not equal un-powered. His motions are translated through gyro sensors and amplified through heavy-duty servo motors. Interestingly it seems the gyro sensors are from Nintendo Wii controllers and the processing power is from an Android phone.

I say to thee Icarus; don't fly too close to the sun.

Fixed. Thanks.

Trick question, without knowing the speed's vector direction one could very well end up exactly where one started while traveling at a constant 80 miles per hour.

But--you will have traveled 80 miles.

Not true my good sir, for you see we are all at this very moment hurtling through space at great velocity! The only correct answer to the man's question was "not enough information given, please reexamine your query."

If you are traveling at 80mph--no matter what the directional component of the vector is--at the end of one hour your wheels will have covered 80 miles of distance.

Of course, I'm not considering the Earth's rotation, or the motion of the Earth compared to the sun, or of the sun compared to the galaxy, or of the galaxy compared to the Local Group, or of the Local Group compared to the Great Attractor.

The tides, the tides....don't forget the tides. The MOON plays it's part as well y'know, if you don't believe me, just ask any werewolf.


But what if I'm carrying a coconut?

Level 59 Reaper? Respect.

Anyhow, this one's fixed, along with 1/2 dozen others.

It's always the good *quality stuff that gets the least attention.

Wharf's a Klingon Warrior. He can take it.

Clever.

Good thing that other boat was there to slow it down.

I once hit a little patch of black ice and went down doing maybe 10kph. I was wearing jeans and despite the low speed the pavement still wore through and gave me road rash on my ass. Lesson learned.

As for this asshat, you know what we call guys like this? Organ donors.

I frankly wish I hadn't seen the other trailer, rather this one instead. The US spot gave too much away, I'd prefer to go in cold, it's the only way to get the full experience the Director intended.

I suppose @chilaxe must have bought himself a shiny new jerkoff screen, hence the downvote?
