Japan has never really invented anything. They take our technology and make it better. They did it with computers and now they're doing it with airplanes. Engineers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a plane that flies on nothing but AA batteries. That's right, AA batteries. Now you can listen to a CD player or fly a plane.

I guess soon they'll start working on a plane with a giant rubberband you twirl to make it take off. Then a plane made from paper. Just fold it into the shape of a plane and have a sumo wrestler throw it as far as possible. Someone should tell them about stoves so they can start cooking their fish.
