Apple’s new ride-sharing service = iCarUs.

“Mom, I’m going at night!”

(snort)

Wax on, wax oooooooooofffffffff…

Does sunscreen keep wax from melting?

A real mother would have made him use the fire retardant wings.

He won’t get very far, Mom!

You’ll melt your wings off.

I would help you but she’s right

If there had only been a Greek mom in the story. She would have made sure Icarus and the wings were slathered in the stuff.

SPF 100?

Don’t think it will help much…

“Ah, I can go higher. Lemme show you what these babies’ll do. Here, hold my wine, Dad.”

“…or to fly to the Sun without burning a wing,

To lie in a meadow and hear the grass sing,

To have all these things in our memory’s hoard,

And to use them to help us—to find the Lost Chord…"

—Graeme Edge

Oh no! Was it the sunscreen that gave him the confidence to fly too close to the sun? “No sunburn for me today! Uh oh…”

“…Fly, on your way like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun…”

Tesla is working into personal flight vehicles….

he obviously came up with that brainstorm on the fly…

Mom should have made him put some on those wings.
