What can you do with a dead cat? When the Commander was a young serpent his Uncle-In-Law would regale him with drunken stories about how they would find dead cats on the road and fling them like frisbees. He dubbed this sport "Sail Cat" because one would have to yell "sail cat" when flinging the poor deceased animal.

An industrious Dutch man, who I have already scouted for the Cobra Science Division has one-upped "Sail Cat" and created a fully functional helicopter. From a dead cat.

Bart Jansen's cat Orville--aptly named after pioneer aviator Orville Wright--passed away. Instead of giving the feline a proper burial, Jansen turned the cat into the "Orvillecopter." This half cat/half cyborg RC helicopter does indeed fly and even has an access panel built into its back.

In the video, from the Dutch television program PowNed TV, Jansen shows the Orvillecopter in action. At the point in the video where the Orvillecopter is chasing cows around the pasture the Commander was laughing so hard he blew off his mask.

Sail Cat indeed.
