Video Description:

The world’s first flying car will be available to consumers by 2011, the Associated Press reports.

Terrafugia Inc., an American company based in Massachusetts, plans to produce the vehicle called “The Transition” and deliver it by the end of next year.

It will take about one minute for the car-plane’s wings to unfold for flying and fold up for driving. Drivers do not need to leave the car during the process. When the vehicle’s two wings are unfolded, it can be parked in an ordinary garage at home.

When the vehicle is in “car mode,” it will be able to reach a high speed of 145 kilometers per hour. In “flight mode,” it will be able to reach a high speed of 185 kilometers per hour. With a full fuel tank, the vehicle will be able to fly as far as 805 kilometers.

The kids in the neighborhood held an election. The grownups were astonished that a four-year-old had been elected president.

“That boy must be a born leader,” one dad observed. “How does it happen that all you bigger boys voted for him?”

“Well, you see, Dad,” one boy replied, “he cannot very well be secretary because he does not know how to write. He would not do for treasurer because he is not able to count. He would never do for sergeant-at-arms because he is too little to throw anybody out. If we did not choose him for anything, he would feel bad. So we made him president.”

The King of Spades (from a deck of cards).
Hold your mouse over for the answer.
I am the ruler of shovels,
I have a double.
I am as thin as a knife,
I have a wife.

What am I?
