6 year old boy floats away in homemade flying saucer

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/1..._n_322639.html


This thing supposedly stood in the air for 2 hours, and it was homemade. I honestly laughed at first until I realized that the kid is missing, and possibly dead. I still want to make one of my own that's big enough to carry people in though.

Commander Keen?

That's a real shame.

If they find him and he's wearing a giant watch that can play pong, and the other hand is holding a soda, I'll just have to laugh.

I do hope they find him alive, though. (But it'll be better with that pong-playing watch and soda can).

Kind of funny how (in the 80s) the videogaming or television-playing watches kind of flopped. Nowadays, we have phones that could do both and then some. Apparently, watches are still just reserved to tell time. People like to play with both hands on a system, not just one.

Supposedly they found him, not sure about that. No reliable source.

Also.

Spoiler!

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flown past the speed of sound
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I flew in a balloon filled with hot air.

In... west Colorado born and raised
in the backyard is where I spent most of my days
soarin and swoopin and bein all cool
and flyin a balloon instead of bein in school
when a couple of tethers
they where up to no good
made me fly way up out my neighborhood
I went on one little flight and my brother got scared
and said "My bros in that basket way up in the air"

So.. whistled for a chopper and when it came near
The side said 'Channel 9' and it had guys in there
If anything I could say that this situation was rare,
but I thought ' ah forget it, jump out, no care.'

I landed on the ground at quite a high rate
and yelled to the news crew "yo homes, find me later"
and at long last, I was finally there,
to relinquish my basket as the king of hot air.
