German engineering does not stop on land. Oh no, Germany is airborne. As if hearing 'Das Auto' doesn't curdle our blood, we will soon be forced to hear such terms as "MS Watersports GmbH of Itzehoe" and "JetLev-Flyer" and "fat yellow hose". Gross. Awful. Damnit Germany, how did you manage to do something us Americans could not? I, for one, am embarrassed.
But moving on, let us tell you a little something about this JetLev-Flyer... it runs off of water, a fat yellow tube hangs down and sucks up water, and blasts off the flyer's sholder rockets. While wearing it you can reach a height of 50 feet, speed of 45 mph and 186 miles of fly time. That is eqivilant to 4 hours of flying time. Crazy, right? Well, yeah it kind of is. I live in western PA, where am i going to find 186 miles of water where i can fly over for 4 hours? And even if i did have that luxury, i would want to fly to the mall or the brothel, which is not located by bodies of water.
But, if any of you are interested in buying one of these flyin' machines, it will cost you about $130,000 US dollars. And that is 129,999 US dollars too many for me.
