Guy turned his dead cat into a flying helicopter

Following this cat's tragic demise after a fatal encounter with a car, Dutch Artist Bart Jansen turned the remains of the feline into a remote controlled helicopter. The device has been dubbed the Orvillecopter after the cat's namesake American aviator Orville Wright.

Me too. I damn near pissed my britches laughing when I recalled my Grandfather's comment on a Paris hotel room. "Why, there ain't enough room in here to swing a cat."

If a cat gets run over by a big truck it makes a pretty good frisbee after a few days too!

Well uh, I, that is, I borrowed it wholesale from a buddy on another site.

But he might be onto something here. Didja see him herd cattle with that thing in the video? Now THAT might find a market. But I suspect it would be more practical to go with a carbon fiber cat painted like a cougar. Cat hides would be labor intensive methinks. I'll put a few men on it right away.
