I keep coming across videos on You Tube of Chinese backyard engineers who have no understanding of engineering, building their own planes, helicopters, cars, and spaceships. The mind boggles!!

Yes I feel his punishment was a bit harsh.... Poor guy.

On another note.....

We have a fellow here in the states who was only minutes away from launching himself "into space" in his own backyard rocket to prove the earth was flat.. :crazy:

The rocket was handmade in the yard and had a rocket propulsion system Image

He's a full time Janitor and handyman... Built out of scrap metal

I though he should have been allowed the chance

We here in the states always make people like the Chinese fellow, well appear normal :shifty:Image
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Your rocket man could have been a candidate for the 'Darwin Award'

Well if he had launched his rocket there is little doubt that the flat earth would have received a rocket sized dent :lolno:

It's not only the Chinese or Japanese with eccentric inventors. This came from the USA :D :

Come to think of it, in my book of useless Japanese inventions I think there's a motorcycle that used boots instead of tyres. There's also a bike with square wheels :crazy:
and come to think of it again.. :think: this is a real ars*-kicker :haha:
