GREAT SUCCESS!
Today, members of Team NARP achieved remarkable results after some officesupply engineering. To make a splitter, go to your local UPS store, or Kinkos (Home Depot might be overkill but some prefer their selection). You will need: Yellow Duct Tape Black Duct Tape Random cardboard box Up to 6 plastic knives for supports A real knife for cutting the cardboard Permanent marker for adding graphics. The design speaks for itself, so here goes... Attached thumbnail(s)

To save you a trip to snopes.com, let me give you the real story.
3 engineers and a commercial pilot took an origami class. Lacking any artistic abilities, they decided to create an aerodynamic device. The goal was cheap downforce, but without a wind tunnel (or any common sense) the device looked more like a snow shovel. They securely (?) mounted it on a 914/6. While proud of their work, none wanted to risk the test flight. After a brief conference, they agree: "Let's get the bartender to do it". While there are no actual test results, it appeared to this trained eye that prior to its catastrophic failure the device caused substantial lift. With rigid materials and suitable mounting, flight may been possible. Not controlled flight, but addition of control surfaces.....
