As I turned my calendar page to the next day (I have one of those trivia ones with each page telling the story of some aircraft invention of its day) I came upon the Luyties 1908 Helicopter.
The reason to mention this is that I have recently taken to flying a chopper. Not literally of course but with a radio controlled miniature much to the bewilderment of the family. Especially as I am trying to learn the controls and have it pass close for comfort near the loved ones' body parts.
I must say its addictive. Esp if one has run out of ideas to blog or eat or while away the time some other way. I find myself spending a good chunk of an hour or two on the weekends testing my skills at holding the aircraft in one place. That is the coolest thing. It is spinning away but not going anywhere. Sort of reminds me of many a consulting assignment to be honest.

In the consulting scene, the client's head must be spinning too.
