Inventer of flying car dies.

Robert Fulton Jr. died today at the age of 95. If I got his name correct, he was the inventer of the "airphibian" one of the few working flying cars ever made. He was also a photographer, and interestingly, was present in 1923 for the opening of king Tut's tomb. I guess some people get to have all the fun.

The history channel did a show on this guy a while back, he was a very intelligent and bold man. Any guy who creates something that can kill them and intrusts there life in it has got balls.

Same here. Poor dude.

:sadwavey:

that really sucks

Craziness.

*Moment of silence*

He definately lived a very fulfilled life.

it sucks he'll never get to see his invention implemented. 95, damn.

I wouldent say poor dude, he lived a fulfilling life and lived to be 95, not bad off I say.

A VERY fulflling life! He seems to have been lucky to have lived so long, and experienced so much.

We've all got to go sometime and this guy certainly made the best use of his life

If people don't even know how to drive on a flat ground, what makes him think they can fly a car?

anyone got a pic of this flying car?!?

I got a funny clip with the two clerk dudes from clerks about flying cars.
Kevin Smith is funny.

Apparently Dante and Randall hadn't heard of Robert Fulton, Jr.

well, I guess this is one of few people whose ideas really "got off the ground" or, "took off"




::winces:: those were bad

I have to admit I'd never heard of an actual flying car - I too instantly thought of Dante & Randal waxing lyrical on the subject!

I wonder if the topic will come up in Kevin Smith's new movie?

I am a silly spammer

95....dude had a good run.

And had he lived to the date of these posts he would've been 97 because this thread started when he died... in 2004!!!!!!:shakehead

edit: may God rest his soul

Hmmmm, I was sitting here reading this, thinking I was sure he died a couple of years ago.

But then look who raised the thread from the dead, new kind of spammer?


Anyway thread closed, its going the same way as its topic, althought it didn't live quite the same life.
