Actually, I always thought it would be kind of fun to learn to levitate (my
normal fear of heights notwithstanding), float up into the O'Hare glidepath
to be reported by a passing jet, land quickly and watch the fun as the FAA
tries to explain what happened and say to the press "Me?  Fly without an
airplane?  Was I wearing blue tights and cape or just a business suit?"
