This is wrong on so many levels. I know I need to remember any God's amount of passwords and PINs but I'd rather that than this the ultimate big brother.

I think this will be the norm in 10 years time.

We have any number of 'chips'. Fingerprints, retina etc.

apparently tears are even better as a unique identifier

Dunno, they usually only arrive AFTER you've been refused entry.

Or after they accidentally dropped a breezeblock on your toe.

Not bad but it's a bit ungainly in it's car form. They need to build one that's as compact as a regular car but opens up like a Transformer.

You're lucky as you have the licence to drive her on the ground and the sky,  what about the rest of us plebs???  Would be some craic trying to get out of the traffic after an AI win to just open the wings and let her go...but shure that won't bother you anyway

They have compromised a bit both ways. I wouldn't like to be driving that as a car on an exposed motorway in a gale. The rear looks light and very open. Also the position of the propeller behind the main body of the car looks to me like it will restrict air getting to the prop and thus reduce efficiency in the air.

But it certainly looks nice and only needs a few hundred meters to take off and land. If someone put a 500m strip in the middle of each city you could see people using these to beat the traffic.

The current estimate though is that it will cost 'hundreds of thousands of dollars'.

I thought this was particularly good:

Are you from Poland? Then President Jimmy Carter wants to sleep with you.

That's what his translator, Steven Seymour, told the then-Communist country during the U.S. President's 1977 visit.

Carter said he wanted to learn about the Polish people's desires for the future; Seymour said that Carter desired the Poles.

Carter said he was happy to be in Poland; Seymour said he was happy to grasp at Poland's private parts.

Carter talked about leaving the U.S. to go on a trip; Seymour said that he had abandoned America forever.

Then he spoke Russian — to a nation struggling under the thumb of the Soviet Union.

Apparently we still recognise King James II as our King, and we are at war with Denmark and France. We also should be fasting every first Wednesday on account of the plague in London.
