Gordon Floats Dirigibles Venture

GANEMULLA, Sri Lanka – In a press conference held this morning, crackpot inventor and industry heavyweight, Professor Gordon announced his intention of diversifying into lighter-than-air vehicles with a new venture know as Gordon Dirigibles LLC. Explaining his business plan to the media, Gordon expounded his desire to challenge the aerial superiority of Boeing Inc and Airbus SAS with high-speed, hydrogen-powered airships. He added that the new company would be a wholly-owned and fully-funded subsidiary of Gordon Industries.

Industry analysts believe that Gordon is attempting to rekindle the golden era of hydrogen-powered airships that ended disastrously with the Hindenburg in 1937. Commenting that this was a highly explosive business venture, they added that it was just as well that Gordon’s liability was limited.

The portly one also unveiled plans to challenge the weight-loss industry with his custom-built personal blimps. These he said, would usher in an entirely new era of weight-loss that didn’t involve eating less. Nutritionists were up in arms against the idea maintaining that it was pure hogwash.

Kahuna was not available for comment, having decided to commune with nature.
