    I hope to someday get a grant - maybe from YouTube, possibly a vision or mental health foundation - to distribute cheap tripods to amateur videographers everywhere.

    It would certainly do wonders for MY sanity, at least.

    @FredicvsMaximvs: It would be nice but I myself am more likely to bring my camera places when I can just throw it in my bag and go rather than lugging the tripod along as well.

    The "Caution, This may kill you" sign would automatically make you want to try it. That and the lure of getting your eyebrows burned off from the exhaust of the other jet.

    Except for a colonoscopy probe, is there anything that isn't a million time cooler when you strap a JATO unit with it?

    @TBM-Fan: Oh ye of little imagination.


    Mount dual jet engines - one under each armrest.


    For an extra fun challenge, have a separate throttle control for the left and right jets for steering and, if you can get enough thrust, altitude.


    Also, make sure the casters are well-lubricated and tool around the kitchen on the linoleum.

    The jet-powered kayak isn't really "jet powered"... It's got a flat piston engine that drives a waterjet impeller.


    Now put a gas turbine on that baby, and we're talkin'...

    I once stayed at a holiday inn, and I could have sworn there was a jet engine in the toilet. When you flush this thing, it seriously sounds like a 747 taking off. You would have to cover your ears before you flush.

    @thehackerdude: Holiday Inn does not use jet engines in its toilets.


    They have a specially modified version of the LHC which creates a localized black hole 2 microns in diameter which come into existence just long enough to create a wormhole that sucks in the water and waste.


    For those who think that our first contact with alien lifeforms will be friendly, keep in mind that somewhere in the universe there is a waterlogged planet filled with the feces of US travelers.
