I'd Ride The Hell Out Of It: The Triceracopter
I've known about the Triceracopter for awhile because it was available last year, but I didn't want to tell you about it while I attempted to secure it for myself. Unfortunately even my most threatening phone calls didn't work, so here it is. Now maybe you can help me steal it. Per old post:
Built as a sculpture in 1977 by artist Patricia Renick, it's now available now for the discerning collector/dinopilot.
The Triceracopter is subtitled "Hope for the Obsolescence of War," and I guess that's why it's a dinosaur combined with a military helicopter.
You know what I love about the Triceracopter? Unlike most dino-vehicle hybrids, this one won't scorch your genitals off should you try mounting it from behind. *ahem* I'm looking at you, Velocirocket.

This is a video of an R/C tri-copter shooting Roman candles at hydrogen-filled balloons in the style of a video game. Obviously, I'm pissed I didn't have this kind of setup when I was a kid. And not just because the closest I ever came to a missile-laden R/C helicopter was a ... / Continue →
