"I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH ON PAPER AIRPLANES WHEN I CAME UPON YOUR SITE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS ANXIOUS TO SEND YOU A PHOTO OF ONE OF MY MANY PAPER AIR PLANE DESIGNS. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON TO TRY AND USE POST IT NOTES...... SILLY ME. ANY HOW HERE IS ONE OF MY STANDARD MODELS THAT I HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS. IT IS AN F-16 FIGHTER THAT REALLY FLIES. IT TOOK TWO POST IT NOTES A LOT OF CUTTING AND FOLDING BUT I ALSO USE A BIT OF TACKY GLUE AND A PAPER CLIP CONCIELED IN THE NOSE. IT HAS A RANGE INDOORS OF UP TO 50 FT. OUT DOORS IT WILL FLY FARTHER WITH A GENTLE BREEZE. I AM AN ART TEACHER AND PAPER AIR PLANE ENTHUSIAST AND I HAVE DEVELOPED MANY DIFFERENT STYLES AND MODEL REPLICAS OUT OF REGULAR OFFICE AND COLORED PAPERS. I HAVE AN ART ROOM WEB SITE AT http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/NELS1641
THANKS FOR MAKING MY DAY!!

I threw a box of diarylea lunchables out the window the other day, and they flew for at least 63 ft. (Pizza flavour)

The lego i had as a child was so dull in comparison!

Then again, my Action Man had a tank and a fucking Ak! he was a real (plastic) man. not like todays in line skater action man, fishing action man and homosexual club disco action man that they have today.

What was the email message about? I stopped reading it halfway through because my eyes couldn't focus on the all-caps letters. He's an art teacher, yet he knows nothing about letter form or typography! Ha! :p
