It is 2010, and you can finally buy your own jetpack. For a mere $86,000, if you put 10% down now and are willing to wait 12 months -- consider it yours. We can all whine, complain about the price, but admit it... if you had the loot, you would consider it - come one now-- it's a JETPACK!
The jetpack itself is 5 feet tall and 5.5 feet wide (so way bigger than me...) and made of a carbon fiber composite with a pinch of Kevlar for the rotor. It uses regular gasoline and will travel a grand distance of 31.5 miles at a maximum speed of 63 mph, which should comfortably take you from home to office (and back) in a jiffy, and with a lot of noise.
You'll still need to pass a training program before taking receipt of the jetpack, so you don't randomly crash into walls or dive into a gas station. Should such an unfortunate eventuality occur, a ballistic parachute system will (hopefully) lift you away from danger.

Can you be thrown out of a Starbucks? Apparently so. This woman threw a fit over the "linguistically stupid" question of whether she wanted butter or cheese with her bagel. Okee... This is also the same woman who refuses to say, "Venti" or "Tall", and prefers to just say small, medium or large. WHY GO TO STARBUCKS THEN IF YOU HATE IT SO MUCH? Seriously, people just like to get annoyed and to annoy people.
According to Blackbook, this homeless Chinese man, now dubbed “Brother Sharp,” is the new Mary Kate Olsen. Those furry Ugg slippers are so Derelicte! There is a blog about him, following him and his "fashions". The article continues to advise that he is mentally disturbed and looks frightened if you approach him... I can't believe this shit makes news. Seriously... and that I'm re-reporting it to you guys like it is news.
