A Flying Leap for Cars?

pillageplunder writes "Businessweek has a story about flying cars and how they could be an actual viable thing in less than 10 years. First flying taxis, then, like the Jetsons, personal flying cars. Several are already on the board, with Honda and Toyota already having prototypes of small flying devices. Even General Electric is getting in on the deal, developing a small jet engine for Honda. So...would you buy one?"

There's an old Garfield comic that I find to be true of cats. Jon walks through the door, and trips over Garfield. Jon yells at Garfield to go somewhere else. Jon picks up his groceries, starts walking, and trips over Garfield in another spot. Again, he yells at Garfield to move. Garfield moves, and predictably, Jon trips over him again. In the panel we see Garfield smacking his forehead in frustration. The lesson? Cats always position themselves in the worst space possible.

I talked to my wife a bit on why they do that, and her opinion is that they want to be the center of attention. By putting themselves in your path, they make sure that you notice them and that they don't miss anything exciting. Or maybe they're just making sure you don't run away. ;-)
