Do you like zeppelins? (Time out:0 days after 18-07-2004, 12:49)
Zeppelins are cool! I'd travel around in them, if that were possible
Zeppelins are cute, but they're no match for my super-bad-ass hypersonic +10000000000000 charisma jetliners
You're an idiot, Mr. President. Please die.
Look everyone! It's the Banana Blimp!

Some lunatic out there in the NationStates multiverse is selling zeppelins . . . Tired of ads?

Got spare money?

The term "spacker" springs to mind.
Honestly, a zeppelin probably rates in as the 2nd stupidest (actually developed) military aircraft design (after hot air balloons).
They're slow, extremely vulnerable, expensive and about as stealthy as a freaking cyclone!

I almost wish somebody would try to use them on me, so I could amuse myself shooting them down with a rocket or two...

Why use a rocket when you can use biplanes?

I'd cruise in a zeppelin. Imagine, flying around in Mach -2 drinking my tea while the Jones tried to foil my plans on getting the Cup of Christ, granting me immortality.

Some history textbooks have very good accounts of the failings of zeppelins.
