OMG, I simply cannot believe that this one has resurfaced! ARGH!

The irony of it all is that, with Mythbusters taking it on, I'm sure some of the "It WON'T fly" folks will find something wrong with the Mythbusters methodology, such as "Well, maybe an ULTRALIGHT can take off, but a 737 on a treadmill won't take off! They have to repeat the test with a 737 for me to be a believer!"

Some folks just don't get it, and never will. May they wallow in their ignorance.
