Then it becomes really funny. I'd opt for that costume.



LMAO. Can't quite dance together either w/o raising some eye-brows

Now I am neither agreeing with this, or disagreeing with this, but this is here for you to laugh at or not. Please DO NOT START A POLITICAL DEBATE. NOR IS THIS THE PLACE TO DEFEND ANY HANDICAPPED PERSONS WHICH MAY BE OFFENDED. That said...

In Tennessee a flyer shows Bush as a Special Olympics sprinter and declares, "Voting for Bush is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded."

There are better ways to kill youself, but there is NO way he could have done this without noticing. He had to druve all the way around the airport, which stands between the avenue and the little artifical "peninsula" where the runway is, and he had to either drive over some sidewalks, or sneak the car through some locked gates I've seen. If he wanted to kill himself he could have pulled a "The spy who loved me" stunt and driven into the water.


Maybe it was a bet Whatever happened it was odd & not to be repeated

Just sit back and accept that fate was on Boston's side.

Now let's hope for a trifecta... New England Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2004 (granted it was the 2003 season, bear with me), Red Sox win the World Series, Democrat Senator John Kerry from Massachusetts becomes the next President. Things like this always work in threes.


I don't think it'll happen in threes this year buddy. But, what a rare event! I never would have expected a sweep. It is like a slap in the face to the cardinals, then they turned it into a (curse)-slap w/o a sut-out last game, wow.

Well, it is not that. I would love to see people get along well in school, and have every child learn to read and write well and all that good stuff. But, what I dislike is the idea that they are advancing through the school system. IMO, if you cannot read/write above the fourth grade level, you should not be in the fifth grade, 6th, or - as in my school - the 11th. That is insane. They need to be in special ed, & not in a class that they receive the same credits for as I do.

Jet Taxi
2002 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
(30 January 2002, Brazil) Airport taxi drivers frequently hear the announcement, "The white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only." But Santos Dumont airport in Rio de Janeiro may need to add a new phrase: "The runway is for take-off and landing of airplanes only."
"The signs that tell you to stop when the plane is on the runway are practically invisible," said the director of the local taxi cooperative. Apparently a Boeing 737 preparing for takeoff was equally invisible to one 64-year-old taxi driver, who sped onto the runway after dropping off his fare. He was right behind the jet when it revved its engines in preparation for a 140-mph takeoff.

Local aviation experts say the force of the 737’s jets is comparable to a hurricane, but, we assume, much hotter. The taxi was spun 25 meters through the air, hit the rocks at Guanabara Bay, and ejected its driver. The man’s tip for the trip was a broken skull and thorax. He is presently in a coma.

Airport authorities cited driver error as the cause of the accident.


I vaguely remember that one. I've been to that airport dozens of times for the past few months, and I still have no idea how he was able to drive by the end of the runway. The airport is located in a small "peninsula" thing, so that you only see water until the plane hits the ground. The runway is so small and the airport is so old that since last month it has been used only for Sao Paulo - Rio flights (the most common flight over here). I don't remember seeing any easy way for a taxi to get over there, so I guess he sneaked in during the night for reasons only known to him, as there's absolutely nothing there for him to see. Maybe he was so stupid he thought he could get customers right out of the runway. But the fact is it did really happen, I remember seeing images of it on TV, and it was featured on Discovery Channel's Mythbusters.
