Building an UFO with his own two hands. Alfie Carrington is a construction worker in Michigan and he's building a flying saucer. He's actually spent the past 30 years and a lot of money building it.
He can get it out of the garage... it's a mockup. He's not trying to fly into 'outer space'... it's not a spaceship per se, he's invented a vertical lift saucer that is meant to eventually replace the automobile. Flights are estimated to be at the 300' mark and roughly 500 miles per hour.
What's odd is that after 30 years he hasn't developed a propulsion device (or if he has, he's kept it secret from his partner and only shared the theory). Anyone can develop an aerodynamic saucer, it's getting it to fly that's the problem.
wow, I was about to comment very negatively, but hey, if it is his passion, let it be. Ain't hurting nobody. Wish you many hours of happyness, dude. And don't visit Russia, they eat squeaky alien saucer pilots there ;)
One question though : does it fit through the garage door ? :) :) :)
"Or do singing flash mobs happen every day at the mall?" No, they just happen every day on the Internet. They used to be novel, now they're just annoying, like that guy who keeps repeating the same joke long after it ceased being funny.
The average flash mob you see online has gotten boring, but if you saw one in real life you wouldn't be able to appreciate it at all? I'd say there's a large difference.
Not to mention this isn't an average flash mob, there is the twist that it's a guy proposing.
^ They're obnoxious and get in the way. I don't care what their reason is, I'm trying to shop, I shouldn't have to detour around people dancing in the middle of the walk way.
The "twist" that it's a guy proposing makes it even more obnoxious. Most people propose in private. You have to be desperate for attention to turn it into a public spectacle and expect everyone to stop and watch. If I'm at the mall, I'm there to shop, not dodge a mob of attention-seeking performers.
100 people singing a proposal at the mall? If only they worked as hard on the marriage as they do on the proposals, maybe we wouldn't have so many divorces.
Slab lol, I'm sure that's what a lot of people probably thought. Just some people singing for money... which I guess they are since I'm sure the dude paid them :P

I'm doing a documentary on him as I type this.

Scratch that, I MIGHT watch just to see her say no!
