Well, I’m a bird, and I like peanut butter. Try that.

As usual I missed the flight but I just want to cogitate that two Wrights might, in fact, make a pong…

Love this one, made me think of my Dad who was a Loads Engineer (designed wings) for Boeing. I use to joke with him that I always checked which plane was flying before I got on, if it was one of his I rescheduled.

They’re so far off the beaten path, it might take years before they get it “Wright.” I mean, right.

Gosh! if they just hadn’t given up on this idea perhaps they’d have found an alternative fuel source! Maybe everything but the worms! 🙂

The birds were more successful than Willy & Orv because they always suck-seed

Certain vegetables, like cauliflower, are stated to produce a lot of “hot air” after being worked upon by the digestive tract in the human body. It is said that this was the secret behind the ability of gurus in ancient times to levitate. We should suggest these veggies as fuel to the Wright bros.

Too bad they couldn’t make that bugs and worms thing work out. Just think how much cheaper it would be to drive our cars if they had!

P.S. Thanks for sending Lori my way! Misery loves company and now we’re NOT enjoying the latest winter storm together! 🙂

Imagine the size of the “droppings” that could land on your car. Right after you washed it of course.

    JP-5 was the fuel that they used in the military, it’s probably the same or similar stuff. I can attest to the “oily” characteristic of it.

Ah so the lesson is that the design may be perfect but without a little internal combustion it is just a pretty picture. Or is that a thousand wrongs go into to most worthwhile things before a right is discovered?

It’s a good thing the aeroplane doesn’t poop on your head after eating its fuel, or maybe it does.
