Jessica Cox, 25, missing her arms due to a birth defect became to first person to pilot a plane using just her feet.

Paper Airplane Contest

On November 1, 2008, the New York Hall of Science in Queens, New York will be hosting a paper airplane contest. OH HELLS YES. The following categories will be judged:

• Distance flown (measured in a straight line from start point to finish point)
• Duration aloft (measured from time released to time it lands on any surface)
• Beauty (subjective measurement based on judges' assessment of both the plane's physical qualities and the beauty of the flight itself; this category does not depend on distance flown or duration aloft)
• Spectacular Failure (subjective measurement based on the audience's assessment of both the plane's physical qualities and the most spectacular crashes)
• Children's division (competition for participants under ages 13)
• Surprise category

More rules and details here. Don't ask: No, your radio controlled F-18 model airplane will not qualify.
