Did you know that on Sept 11 in London there was a plane, with a bomb on it, that was found at Heathrow, and later found that terrorists planned on flying it into Big Ben/Parliment? This is in all the papers in London, I can't figure why I hadn't heard of this until last night.

    Richard Nixon, Gary Hart and Ted Kennedy used to have a Law Firm together.

    It was called Trickem, Dickem and Dunkem

    that the Goodyear Blimp is shot at about 80 times a year? once they even found an arrow stuck in it.

    I told that to the guys at work.

    "that must be just how many times they get hit, because you know they can't hear a gunshot way up there, so that must be just counting the bullet holes. who knows how many times they get shot at and they missed".

    "whaddya suppose they'd do if they shot at it and it went down?" his face turned into a frown. "oh crap!! ha ha haaahahahaha!"

    the other guy waved his arm all around and went PPHHHffffbbllltltlttltltt and smacked his hand on the table. and bust out laughing.

    that was funny.

    Never heard it, doubt its true or the press would have released it a long time ago...

    When Clinton left office they gave him a 21 gun salute. Its a damn shame they all missed....

    Well, with internet links available to all the major world newspapers, we ought to be able to find these articles online if they exist. What are the names of the major London newspapers? (That is, if anyone is interested enough to bother looking -- this sounds like tabloid material to me.)

    I don't know. A good friend of mine just spent 3 months in London and said it is common knowledge over there that this happened. Thats why I found it so strange.
