It is past question that the 'Avion' was capable of power-driven flight; whether it achieved it or no remains an unsettled problem.
The steam engine was unsuitable for sustained and controlled flight, which required the gasoline engine; nevertheless, Ader's short hop was the first demonstration that a manned heavier-than-air machine could take off from level ground under its own power.

Actually, when I first started dating a particular woman I had 100 digits of pi memories (I could write, recite, or type them) and she quickly learned of this fact. Rather than scare her off, she started battling me to see who could memorize more digits... I think with both stopped at 219, realizing it was stupid. Thankfully I'm down to about 60 digits memorized now, though my current girlfriend did embroider my pillow case with 50 digits of pi. So even us pi geeks can find women.
