News, but not the serious kind
Okay, what moron closed the sun roof?
Say, Blog Guy, I saw some photos of a solar-powered prototype aircraft being tested. That’s a pretty cool concept. Have you thought about making a solar version of that Basler BT-70 airplane of yours?
Yes, we tried that last year. It gets pretty hot in those solar things, what with going out of your way to absorb sunlight.
Ah, I hadn’t thought of that. So that would be bad.
No, that would be good. When passengers get hot we sell a lot of cold beers and cocktails, which is how airlines really make their money.
I didn’t know that. So you actually sent yours up for a real flight?
Sure. It took right off, beautifully.
And then what?
Oh, let’s not dredge that whole ugly thing up again. Let’s just say we should have checked the almanac schedule for solar eclipses, and leave it at that.
