We now have a new definition for the "love that shall not be spoken".  Where do these people come from?  And why does anyone care?

Well, as the video on that link shows, it makes as successful a 'copter as it did a cat in it's previous life... :rolleyes:

Holland.

To be fair, seriously disturbed "artists" are everywhere.

His life has been threatened by animal rights extremists. I found the kittycopter disturbing but I support his right to do something goofy with his already-taxidermied cat.

Yeah, the flying dead pet concept always struck me as sorta creepy ???

I suggested to my wife that when the time comes, in lieu of burial or cremation, she could have me stuffed and transformed into dad-o-copter!  Strap a Thunderbird to me and terrorize the neighborhood...  :)  She's not into it, though.  Ah well..

You wouldn't want your stuffed former bosses hovering over the neighborhood, would you? Maybe just displaying them in a trophy case would be safer.

Holland.

Yes, everybody in Holland has such a cat-helicopter. Mostly with a camera mounted, so we can check our tulips.

Also useful for checking on your dikes and watching for marauding German tribes.

You know, I'm sure there are way too many cameras pointing at leaking dikes.

Orville the “Helicator” has a number of vids on YT, I’m real conflicted about this, I think because I just can’t ever imagine stuffing one of my pets, I mean did the guy run up to his poor run-over Cat & see him flattened out like that & think “My how Aerodynamic!” at least he didn’t arm Orville w/ rockets I hope DARPA doesn’t see this they’ll have all kinds of dead pets lined up for wind tunnel testing at Langley
