It would be great if you could go down the freeway see traffic ahead the pull a cord to deploy canopy and take off.

A guy that I knew was flying his home built helicopter and things went very wrong. The thing came apart in flight and it chopped his head off. Maybe thats when they started calling them choppers?

I think I'd rather have that happen than falling several thousand feet.

I guess you never know what you're gonna find in a parked car

Woman drove around with mummified body | car, woman, body - News - The Orange County Register

I think she did it so she could use the carpool lane.

Isn't that an incredible story? How crazy do you have to be to ignore the stench of a dead body in your passenger seat. On the radio they quoted an investigator who said the bodily fluids had drained out into the seat and carpet. No doubt during the heat of summer.
