NEWSFLASH.........

Historians have just discovered a missing novel believed to have been written by Jules Verne under the pseudonym of 'aircraft'......

The book deals with pilotless aircraft flying all over the World carrying passengers and freight.

In his book the passengers have no idea of where the actual pilot is and laugh ,drink,play cards and watch movies while their pilotless aircraft wings it's way across the world.

The pilot's meanwhile sit in a hangar in a mythical airport somewhere in the West Australian outback.They sit at a console and with the latest commodore 64 artificial intelligence and control the aircraft with a joystick and drink weak black tea with lemon.

They can look at each aircraft regardless of it's position via a crystal ball.This allows them to see any obstacles such as Mountains,Buildings and any weather which might be potentially dangerous.

The aircraft-less pilot's can see all the relevant instruments on their school desks and so know when anything untoward is going to happen.

The passengers are given a boxed lunch and a toilet roll and there are drink dispensers which are coin operated situated around the aircraft.

During take off,landing and turbulence the seat belts automatically fasten with the incredible artificial intelligence computers.

All maintenance work on the aircraft is done by the tooth fairy and any medical cases on board will be looked after by the stork who is also there for any impending child birth.

Santa calls in periodically for any children that are bored and every thing is thought of.To cope with any problems of aircraft taxiing all airports are fitting roundabouts on taxi ways.

Apparently,Darth has bought the rights to this book and hopes to make it into a movie and has his R & D people working around the clock to bring this fantasy to reality.

Rumour has it that the author has also written a book on doctor/nurse less hospitals which are run by robots.

John Howard and Tony Abbott has bought the rights to this book
