7 Year Old buys Harrier Fighter Jet on Ebay!

Well, . . . .in 35 years he can probably score an F-35 that can vtol,.....ASSUMING of course they can EVER get a version of the thing that CAN reliably do that trick !

p.s. great video . +^d

include I am sure LOL

parallel parking is a breeze when you have vertical take off and landing :)

i'm so with you on that. i hate v-day.

MINE!!!!!! which bank do I have to stick up 'cos we all know that kind of change don't jingle in our pockets, unless we all do a Co-Op....lol

I got 20 bucks, anybody else want to throw down?

you're my hero!!!! :)

Great i will just park it on the street and throw a alarm on it :P

can you imagine, playing some internet game such "Black Ops" where you take actual fighter planes that regular people can use, with military training equipment on board, and actually go at it over say the Mojave Desert and score points..... Yehaw!!!!! I'm in!!!!!! Yesssss..........lol

Breathe, breathe, breathe.... it's all fantasy....lol

I think I would go with bright yellow and dark purple,.....sort of a 'wasp' motif.
( NOT a "washed out" bleachy pale WASP motif, mind you )

I cant find the article cause it was a while ago I read it, but the Japanese (i think like I said a while ago) are working on remotely manned robots that could be used for military purposes. Imagine if the US could field an army of all its gamers behind remotely manned bots? No one could ever tangle with us again, we could rule the world! Just pick your region and your bot and off to war everyday after work.

I'm thinking this is page straight out of the Iron Man 2 movie....lol

Kinda the bots were bulkier and no flying, and you didn't get to be inside the bot, it was all remotely controlled, but they already do with strike drones, why not land drones. Build them cheap enough and the world would be ours for the taking. We could usher in a new age of ultimate imperialism. Sure it would be heinously immoral, and a gross violation of every human right ever thought of, but it would be terribly fun. And finally I could fulfill my dreams of being greater than Alexander the great, Julius Caesar, and Caesar Augustus.

Depends on the age of the tank, I hear you can pick up a Sherman for a decent price, like 50,000 or something. I don't remember for sure one of my neighbors bought one. he got it taken away though, took out a loan he couldn't afford.

aaaaaaaaaaaah..... hahahaha.... oh, I can see it all too clearly....lol

so true.

HAH !

Agreed!! This would be awesome to fly to work haha!

gas would get pricey . . +^d

in fantasy land it fly's with "bean-powah!".....lol

That logic IS consistent. +^d

Ha! Good one. And, I got ya back up to 0 from -1; best I could do.

heh . +^d

AWESOME ! Had never heard of it !

- - - Leonard v. Pepsico, Inc., 88 F. Supp. 2d 116, (S.D.N.Y. 1999), aff'd 210 F.3d 88 (2d Cir. 2000), more widely known as the Pepsi Points Case,

is a contracts case tried in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in 1999, in which the plaintiff, John Leonard, sued PepsiCo, Inc. in an effort to enforce an "offer" to redeem 7,000,000 Pepsi Points for a AV-8 Harrier II jump jet, which PepsiCo had shown in a portion of a televised commercial that PepsiCo argued was intended to be humorous.

The plaintiff did not collect 7,000,000 Pepsi Points through the purchase of Pepsi products, but instead sent a certified check for $700,008.50 as permitted by the contest rules. Leonard had 15 existing points, paid $0.10 a point for the remaining 6,999,985 points, and a $10 shipping and handling fee.
The claim alleged both breach of contract and fraud. The case was finally heard in 1999, during which time the defendant moved for summary judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56. Among other claims made, Leonard claimed that a federal judge was incapable of deciding on the matter, and that instead the decision had to be made by a jury consisting of members of "the Pepsi generation", to whom the advertisement would allegedly constitute an offer.[1]
