Hi!
Someone had to be a snarky goofball about the contest, and
since nobody else has done it, I guess it falls to me. It's
all the better because this is such an Obviously Winning Entry(tm).
Therefore I hereby submit, for your approval, the Zeno HoverTub:

The five images above are generic images of the HoverTub in
flight. The raw power and graceful lines (not to mention the
stunning hygiene!) of the HoverTub aren't just for flight,
although it can surely fly rings around (ha! ha!) anything
else in the Ancient Greek sky. Why, our friendly little
Acropolis-top philosopher friend can even land his ceramic
beauty:

And then, he can drive it away:

Finally, what good is being the cleanest guy in the sky if
nobody can see you? Here's Zeno, in all his bearded-and-
loinclothed glory:

If anyone has any doubts as to the HoverSupremacy my O.W.E.
exhibits, I would also like to point out that the shower
attachment *is* detachable and has a variable-stream head.
Feedback and lousy plumbing puns welcomed.

| Now that is the funniest thing I have seen in a while. Reminds me of all the cartoons that used to show bathtubs in place of a trunk on limos. The funniest part is that is a completly practical space design. -Mike Petrucelli. (...) (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)

| I realize that this comment may be blasphemy, but... What happens if a Zeno Hover Tub has an accident with T.R. Sammis' Flying Carpet? Will the carpet fly completely waterlogged? Is the tub as efficient with all the water soaked into a carpet? Hmm, (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)
