Glenn Martin, a designer from New Zealand has posted on ebay a chance to be a test pilot for their personal jet pack! For a mere $30 000, you too can have a painful wedgie! The amazing device currently hovers at a staggering 3 - 4 feet and moves at a blistering  6 mph, turning that 20 minute drive to work into an amazing 4 hour journey of children pointing and laughing.

 Martin claims they will be able to fly to a height of 8000 feet and possibly 63 mph with a travel distance of 30 miles. Unfortunately an altitude of 8000 feet is no where near off this planet, where I would have hoped the jet pack could have taken the idiot’s who are saving up for this right now.
