Today, before any of you extreme skeptics begin to rip into THIS
photo, please familiarize yourselves first with such technical words as
left, right, upside down, and the phrase 'crashed and burned,' etc., etc.,
... and no, I have not photoshopped/tampered with it, either.

My mother's ancestry will also not be questioned today, either.[:D]

IF anyone has any problems with it, please do the reference searches
yourself.

Ted and I will be unavailable today to help you.[:D][:D][:D]

    I don't believe it! There's no way those little wheels could hold up that big jet! Zipper's trying to put one past us again!

    The only proof zipper provided was proof that his "friend" Ted dresses up in womens' clothing. Besides being a cross-dresser and a liar, "Ted" is a member of the EAA, the Experimental Anatomical Association, a charitible organization chartered to match up eunechs like zipper with sex change patients looking to exchange organs.

    Heck, yesterday he me talked into apologizing to him and agreeing to let it go. then all of a sudden..he's back with his same old cutnpaste BS forwarded to him no doubt by someone of great importance.

    I had an email from a full bird colonel the other day with a cut and paste about how once on Johnny Carson, Lee Marvin said that he was on the beach at Iwo Jima with Captain Kangaroo, who was the real hero.

    I actually saw that show, Johnny Carson chatting with Lee Marvin and heard him say that about the bravery of the gentleman that played Captain Kangaroo. I guess that dates me a bit, but I enjoyed Carson.

    ok, a plane crashed. so does that mean when we crash one of ours, its because OUR PILOTS safety belted fan blades for take off too?
    duh...
    it crashed. it could have been any number of things. [8]
    what would be a better post would be to post that airlines safety record and accident incident reports for a past year to draw a conclusion.
    posting a crashed plane is like posting a pic of a chevy in a roadside crash and saying GM builds bad cars.

    according to snopes, it never happened. Captain Kangaroo was in the marines, but he enlisted the day the A bomb was dropped and never got into combat, was never on Iwo Jima. Also Lee marvin was seriously injured on Saipan and was not on Iwo Jima.

    Maybe the carson show really hapened and Lee Marvin mispoke(he was known to drink a bit)But the internet version of the story claiming Kangaroo was on Iwo Jima, is a hoax.

    I don't see anything particularly degrading or objectionable with believeing in hoaxes.[8D]

    Actually...

    what you see there.. if the jet that was supposed to end up in pentagon..

    it skipped off the building and ended upside down on the nearest runway.

    The hole in the pentagon was later made with C4 explosives detonated with a stinger missile

    Another fun rumor going around is: Mr. Rogers of the former kids show "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" was a sniper in Vietnam and the reason he always wore sweaters and long-sleeved shirts on his show was to cover all the tatoos on his arms.

    The truth is actually much more tragic. Mr. Rogers was a combat medic who became addicted to morphine and later heroin. He wore the long sleeve shirt to cover the needle tracks on his arms.
