VW Beetle Fitted with a Jet Engine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the solid-gold-houses dept.

6031769 writes "Ron Patrick has decided to go that little bit further by souping up his VW beetle with a jet engine, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. Serious planning went into the project. Patrick said, 'We did (computerized) structural analysis and we did stability analysis. And by God, you know what happens? It works!' Contrast with the Rocket Boy to see how it should not be done." Yes, the Darwin award winner was found to be bogus, but unlike the myth, Ron still lives!

  1. Moussaoui to USA: YHBT by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    LOL AMERICANS

    YHBT. YHL. HAND. Guess what America: You lose. I win. Using Muslim cunning, tax-payer money, and your comically overzealous government

    I have trolled your whole nation. Allah be praised, you have never looked nearly as stupid as you do at this moment.

    What were you even doing trying to put a man to death who was in jail on 9/11 2001? Dont you people usually insist on somebody

    actually managing to kill someone else before you execute them? You know, so that way the executioner isnt the only murderer in the

    room.

    Whatever your reason for trying to murder me, I think we can all agree it has been a hell of a trial. Being the piñata of the American

    government is even more fun than it sounds. Allah be praised, if there is something even funnier than a typical American, it is an

    American who is given more power than he knows what to do with. I must admit however, I was impressed with your guest list. Rudy

    Giuliani, wow. Talk about a star-studded trial.

    If there was one thing that really made my day though, it was the victims families. These people were the easiest to troll of all.

    Take my encounter today with a typical thoughtless American.

    Thoughtless American: " It was just a dagger stuck in my heart, personally him not showing any remorse for what those terrorists did

    on 9/11,"

    Me: " Maybe one day she can think about how many people the CIA has destroyed. ... You have a hypocrisy beyond belief. Your humanity

    is a selective humanity. Only you suffer."

    If there is one thing I love about Americans, its how easy it is to get them to set you up for a great joke. Ill never forget the

    look on their face when I told the CIA that I was supposed to be the 20th hijacker on September 11th. It was like somebody had hit

    them in the face with a 737. Of course I had actually been cut from the team when then I turned out to be a lousy pilot. They already

    had enough box cutter holders so they told me they would call me for the second wave. I knew America would never allow hijacked planes

    to be flown in to buildings again, but still, their kind words made me feel a part of something. Considering tenjoyed it, you fucking

    infidels.
