You'll Laugh, You'll Cry.... You'll Kiss 590 Bucks Good bye?

Post by Sir Games-A-Lot »

I find this website absolutely hilarious:


http://www.futurehorizons.net/



There is more bull on there than in... well just about anything you could name! This even rivals the "Earth Is Flat" site. I laugh every time I look at it since most of the plans, kits and other products sold there fit the definition of paper weight most nicely.

A personal "Favorite" Is at the bottom of this page: http://www.futurehorizons.net/time.htm


Yes, yes of course that's a time machine and I suppose that the slots in large beige box next to me are for very thin toast right? And the chair shaped porcelain structure in my bathroom is not a toilet but rather a highly advanced washing machine designed specifically for gym socks?

@Futurehorizens.net (regarding the aforementioned, eh-hem "Hyper Dimensional Resonator")
This is no joke!!


Oh but I must protest it is far to funny not to be a joke!


On a side note I am pretty sure this is the site where the show Myth Busters got their jet pack plans from (which did not by the way even manage to take of other than jerking about and inch off the ground in a warehouse)

Sorry if this is spam but I personally find this whole thing quite comical but maybe that's just me.

Yeah Mythbusters did that Jet Pack. Well they're not always going about things logicly I will agree that the Jet Pack thing is full of crap. Not many of those things will work.

Really the hovercraft... You might have fun making one. But hey go to xinventions.com and you can look at this kid's two hovercrafts, and his work so if you by the plans you're sure to have something working.

I cant decide what the funniest thing on there is! :) The sad thing is that they probably have people buying stuff from them...

Those hoverboards aren't a joke, at least. I've seen similar things made from a leaf blower, some plywood and a tarp. I think they built one on Mythbusters and Junkyard Wars before.

But seriously... time travel? And without a DeLorean no less! Impossible!

:lol: :P

Actually, according to my Back to the Future 2 DVD, hoverboards were to be released in the 80's, but some Groups (Lead by Jack Thompson, no doupt) kept them off the market.

Oh man, I think I just burst a blood vessel laughing. I love the way it sounds exactly like they've looked in a high school science textbook and take the most complex words they could find and adding "hyper-" to it. Oh, this is great: "This book also shows how to create grid points, which are neccesary for proper time travel". Grid points? GRID POINTS?

Yeah but amazing1 doesn't call a metal handle with a neon light on it a plasma sword, they call it a light saber. And if they ever make a more durible neon bulb I'll see about buying one.

Mini Launcher
3-barrel, handheld, battery powered rocket launcher is slightly larger than a pack of cigaretts yet fires glowing, screeming, exploding rockets up to 150 Ft. Non-lethal. Great for personal protection.
