What would you do if an eight armed elephant started throwing trucks, knocking down buildings, and eating the fighter jets sent to stop him?

How is Air Force One started? I know big planes don't have keys, but this is Air Force One. Shouldn't there be a key/code, something?

Was I telling you the other day about forklift batteries? The battery in my forklift at work weighs between 2,900 and 3,900 pounds. The forklift itself — not counting the battery — weighs about 8,500 pounds.

Of course, forklifts don't fly, so they can be heavy. In fact, they need to be heavy to do their job. Aircraft need to be light. I think that's why you won't see practical full-sized electric aircraft anytime soon.

But technology is advancing so batteries can be lighter and have more energy capacity so it is still possible.
