Remember how on the Jetsons they ate food pills all the time, just popping a capsule instead of eating a sandwich? Well, we've found something so much cooler - vodka in pill form! Swallow a capsule, get drunk. Also bypasses the tastebuds, so I might be able to consume tequila again.

Speaking of the Jetsons, I want my flying car! Evidently, one recently got off the ground for 60 seconds, in a flight that the pilot called "unremarkable." Unremarkable? It's a freaking flying car! And I want one. Preferably with air-to-ground missiles, because I've got a lot of rage built up over the last eight years.

If I remember correctly, several decades ago predictions were made that helicopters or some similar flying machines would be common in our garages by now (if not years earlier). Maybe the tire/rubber industries conspired to stop progress on that...! LOL

I see so many dog walkers in my area -- they would do well to have the kind of treadmill used for Astro, IIRC...

They also have TV phones where you can see the person you're talking to! I'm still waiting for my own personal "Rosie"! The flying cars would be cool too!
