After Hours : Why The Scariest Sci-Fi Robot Uprising Has Already Begun

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I thought flying cars were called "airplanes".

No, airplanes are called "airplanes".

A car is simply a vehicle that moves on wheels.  Airplanes do that as well, but they also fly!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Not all airplanes have wheels.

Those are flying boats.  Or flying sleds.

My hovercraft is full of eels!

Also: a truck moves on wheels but is a truck, not a car.
and the horse you rode in on

It is a subset of car!

Not surprising, was already predicted in 1966 in Dennis Feltham Jones's book, 'Colossus'. A movie was made about in 1970 - 'Colossus: The Forbin Project'. Very good movie.
