    Who knew the first spaceship for the masses would be modeled after the VW beetle?

    And after only 4 comments, it's already slashdotted.

    Searching on Google suggests the url was probably correct. The google cache link is here

    In case the image doesn't show up (google cache still loads images from origin site), here it is on imageshack

  4. What kind of plane is it? by bosef1 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obligatory quotations:

    Excuse me sir, there's been a little problem in the cockpit...
    The cockpit...what is it?
    It's the little room in the front of the plane where the pilots sit, but that's not important right now.

    You ever been in a cockpit before?
    I've never been up in a plane before.
    You ever seen a grown man naked?

    It's funny because the Slut plane is actually a Sabena plane. In the 1990s Sabena slept with Air France, with KLM, with BA and finally got a deadly disease from Swissair (who sunk Sabena to delay their own downfall)
