    You gotta wonder - if you were hanging out with Megan Fox if she could ever stop acting or putting on some persona. I mean, look how she has to take over this casual photo of four girls hanging out.

    Then again, depending on your goal, who cares, maybe. You know, like if you wanted to watch Transformers with her and get her to act out her parts during the movie. Ahem.

    The Lockheed Martin X-59 is probably the strangest airplane ever designed. Its razor-sharp nose takes half of the airplane’s length; there’s no cockpit in sight; the wings are tiny compared to the entire fuselage; and its oversized tail engine looks like a weird hump about to fall off. Of course, there’s a method to this madness. The design is the secret sauce that has produced a true unicorn: a supersonic jet that doesn’t boom the hell out of people and buildings on the ground.

    The sonic boom is a phenomenon that has long been the Achilles’ heel of supersonic flight. When an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound, the compressed air molecules against the body of the plane produce shockwaves that merge to form a sonic boom, a loud and disruptive noise heard on the ground. This noise has historically been a significant impediment to the commercial viability of supersonic flight over land.


    The X-59’s “quiet” supersonic boom isn’t made possible by expensive magical materials or exotic engines, Richardson explains. “There is no radical technology in the airplane itself. It really is just the shape of the aircraft.” And if the shape looks more like an anime alien spaceship than an actual vehicle created by human beings, that’s because it was dreamed up in another dimension—by computers and humans—through special software created by the Bethesda, Maryland, company’s engineers.

    As planes started to go supersonic over the continental U.S., the sound explosions became so much of a problem that Congress banned supersonic flight over land in 1971, a move that was later followed around the world.

    If there's no cockpit, who flies this jet? Is this a DRONE?
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    It appears as if he has forgotten the following: scamps, scallywags, rascals, ruffians, rapscallions, and "little emasculated masses of inanity". :p

    Those don't look like pigeons. Maybe in Baltimore that's what they look like, though. Pretty menacing looking bunch. I'd give them all my bread at once, and book it the hell outta there.
