Its only when the correct forms and swarms of microbes and slightly larger invisible tiny beings make their home in the carpets do they gain levitational transformation to aeroborne tran-spore-tation.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808596250801819029.post-85106071193539181102016-05-16T16:00:57.248+01:002016-05-16T16:00:57.248+01:00It would mess with many mathematical principles if...It would mess with many mathematical principles if it turned out the only reason that aeroplanes can fly is because the carpets are stuck in, lifting the plane off the ground. Although it seems a little more reassuring to know all that metal is held up by magic and a good strong glue.

And strangely I do have a very very old flying carpet that came from Iran in the early 1950's. Apparently the reason I can get it to fly is I dont know the magic word. I have tried many over the years since I was about three and no luck yet. . . .DAMNRob Z Toborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570498194207996145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808596250801819029.post-14907211093016261312016-05-16T11:32:59.921+01:002016-05-16T11:32:59.921+01:00I just realized that practically every airplane mo...I just realized that practically every airplane most likely <i>has</i> carpet inside it, and has for quite some time, so essentially everyone who flies is flying on a flying carpet although most people are oblivious to this. It is nice to have the rest of the airplane surrounding the carpet to protect it from the weather and birds.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808596250801819029.post-75667635876412156282016-05-16T02:31:08.895+01:002016-05-16T02:31:08.895+01:00Aww, no witty (huh!) comments from me.
