Post by: Delfos on October 05, 2015, 04:15:58 PM: The military cars are kinda right too, we have toyota hiluxes serving several military purposes including similar one in the picture. The whole collection is impressive, you can see how much they wanted to go under water, which we still haven't ventured much. The amount of flying people and flying vehicles is impressive, they kinda nailed that one.

Post by: Delfos on October 05, 2015, 04:42:05 PM: 1st stop hunting whales, 2nd start enslaving whales, 3rd make people resistant to the huge pressure changes a whale endures in travel, 4th create a market need for whale-bus travel, 5th enjoy your ride.

I actually did not notice it was kinda like a Whale Zepplin.

Also, pro-tip: don't read these articles at work when your boss comes in and says what the f*** are you reading? :D

I said "some article about how people in the 1900s thought the 2000s would be like." He responded by asking if I had heard the latest NFL news of the day. It's amazing how little you have to lie when you never miss a deadline and do quality work. #yayme :D
