How long before someone packs one of those babbies with ‘splosives?

Well, who wants to bet that they’re going to be putting out a remake of Knight Rider?

I use to fly radio control aircraft. The aircraft typically weighed 5 to 7 pounds and had a top speed around 50 mph.

Occasionally, there would be a problem, like radio interference, dead batteries, whatever. In about 4 seconds, those aircraft would follow a parabolic trajectory toward terra very firma or they would go ripping into a tree line.

When this 5 to 7 pound aircraft struck open ground, it would dig about 1 foot into the soil on impact. Hitting a tree line was more spectacular as the engine usually continued to run as you heard the ripping sound of tree limbs, leaves, and aircraft wings. Pretty much like the sound you’d expect to hear if you tossed a running chainsaw into a stand of trees.

Either way, this 5 to 7 pound object could cause great damage. I’d hate to try and radio control a 4000 pound car with a dodgy WiFi connection! (Hey, it just went into a tunnel. I lost signal!)

Is that a Chrysler mini-van named the Spirit of Berlin?

SERIOUSLY?

You’ve gotta put the pipe down fellas... Too much crack is whack.
