Human Powered Helicopter

marcopo writes "In response to a 24 year old prize challenge from the American Helicopter Society, a number of engineering students at the University of British Columbia have designed a human powered helicopter. The prize requirements are 3 minutes flight at 3 meters, with only human power, and the team, led by UBC's Mike Georgallis, plans a test flight next Tuesday. The Vancouver Sun also has the story."

    GNAA 9/11 COMISSION REACHES STARTLING CONCLUSION
    GNAA 9/11 COMISSION REACHES STARTLING CONCLUSION

    On Monday, August 2nd 2004, the GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) 9/11 commission will release its report on the events of September 11th, 2001 and the utter, Rucas-esque failure of the government and GNAA's military to prevent, handle, or cover up the attack. In a press conference this morning, GNAA president timecop released the shocking conclusion of the report.

    "lol, jews did wtc," said GNAA president timecop before spraying his viral Gaynigger seed all over a crowd of reporters.

    This conclusion is in direct contradiction to the US Senate report that "lol sandniggers did wtc" that was released just a short time ago.

    GNAA spokesnigger Penisbird held a press conference this morning where he was quoted as saying "It is obvious why the Senate 9/11 Commission failed it so badly: the presence of known Juden Joe Lieberman on the panel." This obvious conflict of interests went unreported by most major news sources because of the open anti-GNAA slant of almost every major organization.

    Although the GNAA Commission still has more work to do, the apparent ringleader was Federal Reserve Chairjew Alan Greenspan. Greenspan has been quoted as saying that he supports a smaller economy in which he is the ultimate master. Destroying the WTC was just the first step in what appears to be a grand scheme to shrink the US economy to the size of his shriveled circumcised penis.

    President timecop stated that he supports a strong dollar to keep gold jewelry (a staple of niggers) prices low.

    Another conclusion of the panel was that the ops of #Politics played a pivotal role in the success of the attack. The usually miserly organization gave $2,000,000 to help fund the effort. They then continued with their unwavering aid to Jews by spreading false evidence that led others to believe that a bunch of sand niggers committed the attack. GNAA has promised a strong retaliation against #Politics.

    There are only three comments and this thing is slow. Then I have to navigate to see the gosh darn thing.

    If I were any more lazy I wouldn't even post as AC on slashdot. You think I have the patience and drive for this? How about a direct link next time?
