Didn't I see this guy on the Darwin Awards?

Having spent an entire career supervising engineers who couldn't write, I don't find it a bit surprising that he ends nearly every sentence with both a period and a question mark. Razz emoticon

Hey - nice scoot. What kind of miles per gallon you get?

Oh, only about 3 pounds per minute...

Look closely, those engines are sitting on cans of paint thinner. They're not even attached. This one has been making the rounds for years now.

Those turbines put out huge amounts of heat. No way the body will be able to survive. If he is lucky, the Honda will just MELT and NOT CATCH FIRE.
