It's called Airship Earth, and it's a great big balloon with a map of the Earth on it, and two propellors hanging from the bottom.  You blow up the balloon with helium put batteries in it, and you have a radio controll indoor blimp.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=2943767&postcount=1"> bought a small helium tank from a party store, and last night we put the blimp together.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=2943767&postcount=1"><DIV>
It was easy and fun, and then I blew up another balloon and made Mickey Mouse helium voices for my daughter.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=2943767&postcount=1"><DIV>
My three year old girl loved it.  We flew the blimp all over the house, terrorized the dog, attacked the fish tank, and the controls were so easy my daughter could fly.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=2943767&postcount=1"><DIV>
Let's face it, blimps are fun.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=2943767&postcount=1"><DIV>
At this point it is important to know that my house has central heating.  I have it configured to blow hot air out on the ground floor and take it in at the  second floor to take advantage of the fact that heat rises.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D0B49F3F-1FD9-4013-BFD0-30CAA59014B2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
