I can only wholeheartedly agree with what one of those things in the video said: "Make it stop!" Time flies, and the older you get, the worse it gets.

Speaking of time, there was a Swedish song from 1986 where a professor is asked about his evighetsmaskin (perpetual motion machine, but literally 'eternity machine'). Both the professor and the sounds in the song were pretty creepy to me, and I wondered what an eternity machine was. It made me think it had to be a machine that made time. But what happened if it broke down? Would everything just stop? It scared me.

Time flies faster than the Concorde.

Is that a video of the Concorde? Because my browser won't let me watch it.

Oh sorry. Yes, it is a video where Concorde flies high above the camera, and her sonic boom is heard.

Concorde was such a beautiful plane!

Yes, that was a sad day. Are you also a fan of Concorde? I've been one since I was a kid, and in 2003 the Concorde dream came true for me. It was the best vacation ever, and it even turned my mother who isn't into planes, into a fan of Concorde!

The Concorde accident in 2000 was the fault of another plane. A subsonic jet had been on the runway earlier and a piece of it fell off. That caused the Concorde to crash and it was the beginning of the end for the majestic plane.

King Henry II of France died in a jousting accident in 1559. This resulted in the end of jousting as a sport.

That's too dangerous anyway. Better just play tic tac toe.

The A380 is the best passenger jet.

Concorde will always be my favorite plane.

Dreamliner has turned more into Nightmareliner, what with all the technical difficulties they have had.

Why do you like A380 best? It visited Norway once. I didn't go to the airport, but I saw it on the news. It was fun.
