When were paper airplanes invented? I've been wondering about this for, oh, about a minute or so. I have a feeling that Leonardo Da Vinci invented the first one. That dude was a genius. Okay, so if LDV invented paper airplanes, what'd he call it? 'Contraptioso Del Paperio Airbornitio' most likely. (That's Italian for "Flying Paper Contraption," obviously.)
Hey maybe LDV didn't invent paper airplanes. Maybe paper airplanes were invented by the people who invented paper in the first place: the Egyptians. Imagine young Pharoahs-to-be flying papyrus airplanes around the Sphinx. Hmm, well some say the Chinese invented paper. Can you see little baby Shao Lin monks throwing their {insert-chinese-word-for-paper-here-no-thanks-to-teena-damnit} airplanes over the Great Wall? I can.
Anyway... paper airplanes. Geez. What is wrong with my brain that I'd be thinking about paper airplanes at 4:45am in the morning? I'm out.
p.s. This has nothing to do with paper airplanes but "Boat Trip" was hilarious. Cuba Gooding, jr. is a comic genius.
