I remember reading about a balloonist in the 80’s who was trying to circumnavigate the world.

He crossed into soviet airspace over Romania accidentally and was shot down.

But that wasn’t the best part lol… the pilots who shot him down recieved medals for “bravery in the face of extreme danger”

L O L !

Another case where a balloon was mistaken as an “UFO”. Lol

Well Garg, those pilots WERE flying Soviet aircraft. Pretty brave if you ask me.

The best Hitler video, is the Hitler learns Cowboys lose first game in new stadium. I’m a life long Cowboy fan and I love it. You got to learn to laugh about some things- like Jerry Jones running the Dallas Cowboys.

This year it will definitley be Brady since Peyton is out with a neck problem.

Man talk about luck.

Good luck to survive both.

Bad luck to be there for both.

Lots of luck involved anyway.

As far as the age thing certain areas in Japan have been known for having people regularly live to 100 or more due to diet and lifestyle.

@frimmel:

I think the movie is likely to be feminist pandering. Jermo hit on the essential message –  people mess things up. I don’t see how they would ever let that through in a film. A simple one like a woman’s beauty is useless in a world without men will never make into the film.

While I would hope it would, and we might see enough folks ready for a shift in their woman good, man bad world view I’m not optimistic and fear the film would just be the women even more genius and badass taking care of a even more hapless, dweebish Yorrick. I can’t see them really embracing anything from the tale other than the story of a dweeb with survivor guilt who needs taken care of and saved.

Why did Yorrick survive the plague? Because he was too stupid to keep from getting sh*t on. I don’t see how Hollywood getting anything but women good-men bad from that.

Y does have messages about equality and a sense that men matter in the world but I don’t see Hollywood doing anything with this other than asking, “Who needs men?” And answering “No one.”

I’m sorry to say but I fear you might be right.  I’m glad I own the novels and had a look into the true version before Hollywood corupts it.

God pitched a tent

That is the coolest thing I’ve heard in a while.  That almost makes me feel like going to church… no it’s gone…

i would have given him the money. with my experance in retail i have learned to never piss off fat people, there is nothing scarier that a angry fat man.

@Deviant:Scripter:

I’ve heard Bush (or some other senior leader perhaps) make the connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, but I’m not sure that I remember a relationship being drawn between Iraq and 9/11 specifically.

fair enough.

at the same time, there is some controversial evidence that Iraq has been working with Al Queda as well - at least the secret service - which contradicts what i’ve read about SH and OBL’s hatred of each other:
