Jumbo Jet Converted Into Hostel

After seeing the Eli Roth movie Hostel, I don’t know if I’m going to ever stay in one again. Thank goodness there are braver souls than I, especially the people staying in Jumbo Hostel in Arlanda, Stockholm. Converted from an old 450-seat airplane, the shell of the aircraft has been completely reworked as a full-fledged hostel. The funny part is, this isn’t even some DIY art project. This is a real business. The website for Jumbo Hostel looks incredibly professional... Continue reading

Send Your Loved One Some Plane Mail

Forgot to send your nephew his Christmas present for this year? Quickly order one of these Plane Mail postcards to send him and quickly place the blame on the US Postal Service. These postcards are made out of wood and pop out into an easy-to-assemble balsa wood glider. Just like the old days! The best part is that you can write all over the side of the postcard with your messages of love. I’d say this is better than getting... Continue reading

DIY: Paper Airplane Launcher

Now, this is interesting. An electric paper plane launcher kit that you put together yourself. Too bad the entire point of crafting a paper airplane is to wing it at someones head. With this launcher, you not only miss out on choosing your targets, but you also waste precious time building it. Time that’s better spent putting together more paper airplanes for your paper air force. Please, don’t spend $16 dollars on this thing. Just look at it and laugh.... Continue reading

Aviation Innovation: Getting Higher Than Ever Before

Powering jet planes with eco-friendly biofuels such as algae has been done before and yet, I’m still being charged an arm and a leg by the airline companies who are still stuck in the past, burning up high emission jet fuels. Deep down in my heart I have always known that marijuana is not only a powerful medicine, but that hemp oil is also a useful and renewable energy source. Just ask DuPont. Come early December, Air New Zealand will... Continue reading

Airport Network Hack Launches The Revolution

Whenever I arrive at an airport, I need to get online right away. It’s not enough they’re overcharging me for my ticket, now they want to charge me $7 for 24 hours of internet. My next flight is in three hours, what could I possibly need 24 hours of internet for. What a rip-off. Thanks to Felix Geisendörfer of debuggable.com, he’s shown the man that we know when we’re being fed shit by hacking into the Atlanta airport’s network. After... Continue reading

Pussy Cat Playhouse

If your pussy is like mine, all dried up and withered away with boredom and fatigue, you could dupe it into sitting in a tank, airplane or firetruck to look cute for 8 seconds. Your pussy will put out fires, fight wars and even soar the skies. You can dupe your pussy into doing anything if you can get it to sit in a tank. The cardboard playhouses takes some effort to put together but it’s nothing you and your... Continue reading
