The news, all too often, is full of heavy stuff.

Sometimes you just need a brief entertainment break.

Sometimes you just need to watch a crazy, real-life Iron Man propelling himself across the Dubai skies at 160 mph as a literal human jet.

That sometime is now:

The sheikh of Dubai is apparently funding this jetman venture, and, also apparently, actually wants it to be Tony Stark-ish, judging by this Esquire Middle East report:

"Unlike previous missions, this marks the first time one of the Jetmen has been able to takeoff straight up in the air, more typical of Marvel's Iron Man."

So a sheikh is like, "I have unlimited money. I want to be able to fly like Iron Man. Make it happen."

I mean, I'm OK with it.

This has been an entertainment break. Now back to your regularly scheduled news.
