This human flight hoax has been picked up by all the tech and gizmo blogs within the past 12 hours.

They have Youtube videos going back several months, working machines, blueprints, blogs, press kits... pretty impressive.
The videos on the whole seem vaguely like some kind of fake European viral advertisement, but if you watch this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0tKFOcHyrI&t=1m40s between 1:45 and 1:55 there's a dead giveaway...
Almost, guys!
