If you're going to have a 5 gallon can of gasoline as a headrest, I say why
not fill the envelope with hydrogen, too?

I open a page that has only a picture, and a little text. There are no
active links.

Does anyone else's show any other information?

When that happens to me, I switch from FFox to M$ IE. Sometimes that helps.

Links are on the left - section is yellow.

les textes ne sont qu'en français pour le moment

text only in french at the present - huh? :-)

Nope. Nothing like that on my screen. No links anywhere. I'm using IE,
but I have a lot of video playback and other features turned off. If that
is what it takes to view this stoopid site, I'll live with it! <g>

A google semi-translation of the aerodynamics page:
http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.woopy-fly.com%2Faerodynamique.htm&langpair=fr%7Cen&hl=en&safe=off&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools

Looks fairly well thought out.

You're probably just as well off. It appears to just be a trike with a fat
wing--whether it is inflated or has full ribs is not obvious to me. Anyway,
the only real novelty is the cartoonishly plump appearance.

Peter

OK, I admit it, I am not a trike fan.

It's been a long time since I was hanging around this newsgroup, but it
seems the last time I was around, there was a thread proposing
alternative terms for stall, such as "wingfart", for use when speaking
with the press. I really like the word "unhooking", in this translation!
