Am I just getting older or do choppers get stupider with every passing year?

I am a member and subscriber of that magazine, "Make." It's kind of a geek, engineering kind of mag.
It's a cool magazine. They get all kinds of people submitting all kinds of weird stuff. That bike is one of them. Obviously some guy with a high IQ who said "Gee, I bet I can make a bike with 2 x 4's."
In terms of a chopper, yeah it's stupid, but I think he made it just to see if he could. And it got in Make, which I bet made his day.
You guys should consider subscribing, it's a really good read if you are into lots of cool or bizarre DIY projects [do it yourself] that have no purpose other than to amuse. There are many functional items featured, but lots of things are just plain fun [as that bike is].
Not that it matters, but Bill Gates says he reads Make
