Holy stuff I actually want this really bad. Except I would probably buy a really expensive one that has better endurance and quality.

"Laugh at mother nature!" I rather laugh at the dipstuff that buys one of these.

Wait, so it doesn't actually fly, or it does fly?

It uses something called ground effect to 'fly'. It can only fly as high as it's wingspan.

I'm actually going to buy this, lol.

Flying hovercraft is actually called a ground effect vehicle. It uses the 'pillow' of air below it to create ground effect. Quite cool actually, the Soviets built a few, most notable one is the Lun-Class Ekranoplan that had 6 Nuclear Cruise Missiles on top of its fuselage.

People calling me a douchebag are stupid. This is my 5th call to them and they give me no help at all. And now they want me to not have internet for 3 weeks. I also didn't put down the entire chat, just a basic summary.

so you mean you really couldn't go 3 weeks without internet?

1: My mom is a Graphic Artist and works from home.
2: My dad brings work home on his laptop.
3: I could go without my games and whatnot, but I use Skype, Facebook, Google for stuff on a daily basis.
