Well, this is the Borderline Blog for Boys. You really don’t need a sane reason for doing what you’re doing. Just do guy stuff, and we’ll post it. This is borderline borderline material, don’t ya think?
Maybe these guys could turn their engineering skills to a trampoline with wheels next.

John Travolta as Forrest Gump. Sheesh. I’m not sure if it’s a crazy idea or not. I do know that I’m never again going to trust anything I see on the internet. Then again, I never trusted anything on the internet before, so I’m kinda ahead of the game, I guess.

OK, so things have changed a little bit since 1942. For example, the video doesn’t offer any tips on how to treat an infected tattoo. There’s nothing on what to do when your chick falls off the back. They offer no advice on what to say if Schwarzenegger asks for your boots, your clothes, and your motorcycle. By I’m quibbling. You’ll certainly be able to qualify as an organ donor if you watch the video. Where to steal a motorcycle is up to you.

Holy cow, that’s amazing. I’m speechless. I’m without speech. We’ve all put together model airplanes, maybe. We wheedled the inexpertly molded parts off the little plastic trees and smeared them with glue until the fumes made our heads spin, painted them with all the care and expertise usually reserved for the back of a barn, and then put the lumpy finished product on a shelf, waiting for the cat to knock them on the floor and your mother to throw the pieces out.
This guy literally makes a working miniature Airbus RC airplane right in front of you. It turns out that Hardy Kruger in the Flight of the Phoenix was right all along. It looks much harder to make a miniature version that flies than a full size one, because you’re the aeronautic engineer and the pilot.
