Will it take off?

I'm but a simple cavewoman. Your flying machines confuse and scare me.

Poor Acid...we've destroyed yet another thread.

And Les, if we fill it with fireworks, won't that make it very difficult for us to toast marshmallows for the s'mores?

Hey, at least I answered the question, so now I can do whatever I want.

I was going to say it wouldn't get lift without wind resistance but you already had so I just voted.

Wait, when did we switch to the Lothar sketch?

Actually, yes, it would take off, if the belt were big enough and moving fast enough. It's not very practical, but it would work fine. In fact, there's already examples of this sort of thing that work perfectly well. Ever seen a catapult launch off of an aircraft carrier deck? Even if the engines weren't on the plane would still take off. The flight would be pretty darned short, but it would still fly.

Damn. Now I want marshmallows.

I disagree, Eric. DHS would think it were a terrorist device and blow it up before it had a chance to take off

Ok ok, but I thought were just talking hypothetically here.

Might have a chance if it's hypothetical location isn't Boston, though
