Danny will soon be de facto Mayor of this City, if he isn't already.

I kind of started reading it and said to myself... wait a minute... if this is a working technology... then why hasn't it been discussed publicly yet?

Even the Segway PT 2 wheeler has been much mentioned in media... so any electromagnetic "hovercraft"... would have been "media'ed" to death by now...

Lighten up. Of course it's a joke, but I figured if a post about mythical rivers of piss in Midtown could get 180 posts, a post about floating gondolas could get a little conversation started.

Stupid and not funny. It wouldn't have been funny apr 1. It's not funny on a random Thursday either.

I have seen the river of piss, and I left unimpressed. I once saw a "cat scrap freezer" in the eastern market. It was at one time full to the brim with dead kitties and left to melt and then later implode black oily liquid and bone fragments everywhere. It reeked of death for blocks. Hands down the nastiest thing I have ever seen in Detroit.
