speaking of where our tax money goes...no, really - it's not a joke. and can you imagine the pitch? "see, this helmet, it will allow soldiers to directly transmit their thoughts to each other! and... and... they can fly drones! yeah! and play wii without those wacky stick thingies!"
(actually, we're just bitter because they turned down our photonic crystal time travel belt buckle. the lights spelled out 'nugent'. we knew we should have gone with 'frampton'. everybody likes frampton.)
