Yep, it's Europe-Off-the-Rails (tm).

Reader Tom Sheridan doesn't seem to be all that impressed with the pending prospects of Personal Air Vehicles (aka, "flying cars"). He claims to prefer a more, ah, adventurous mode of transportation...

(So many to choose from, really. It should be a daily feature.)

Whoa -- Hey now. Want.

Last year, Hitler threatened to cancel his Sheffield United season tickets...this year, he accusses the DNC of thwarting his destiny. Always something, it seems...

It can be hard staying away from snacking and eating stuff that generally isn't good for you. The next time you need to supress the urge to eat unhealthy foods at odd hours, just check out the Six Most Terrifying Foods in the World -- that'll fix ya.

And it looks like with a few aerodynamic modifications it might just get off the ground...
