I just like the taste of goldfish.



I mean some people do. Ive never done that.

[daft alchemist]

Some people do that, but they usually follow it up with trying to induce vomitting to get the goldfish back out.

Man, Wikepedia is awesome. They got entries on everything, even comic book heroes. But this post is for anyone interested in keeping up with current events: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Israel-Lebanon_conflict

I love Pete and Pete!! I think it's out on DVD now, and I'm so going to buy it. I loved that show so much back in the day.

I didn't really know where else to put this, But the strangest thing just happened.

There were at least 30 planes in the air at once over our house. They were flying in circles, mostly, but generally heading I think Northingish maybe westish coming from an eastish direction (I don't have a compass). I might have my directions mixed up.

There were so many, it started at like 10 but more and more kept coming. What was weird is that there were so many planes but there wasn't any noise. They moved so fast across the sky that they were either very very fast or very very low (seeing as they were so quiet, they had to have been high and fast or something...)

It was weird. Me, mom, and Dave were all standing out there just watching. I tried to take a picture, but it didn't come out too well (Its not good at night pictures). I don't think any of the planes may have come out.

duuuuude!!! Did you have a UFO encounter! freakin sweet!!

or maybe u live where the government is conducting some mind messerupper experiment!

[Cobra5]

I don't know what it was. It would be cool if it was UFOs, but they did have all the lights a normal airplane has (Including the red/green left/right markers).

My only guess is there may have been a security scare, so they scrambled fighter. It's happened before, just recently actually. That would explain why the planes didn't seem like normal planes (Quieter/faster). Millitary planes are l ike that.

Who knows. Mom says it may have just been traffic at an airport in new york, and they were putting lots of planes on hold. But there were so many, I don't think it was that.

Someone from the military could have died and they could've been doing a tribute. That or it could've just been a bunch of pilots showing off. We've seen both of those done. The pilot who was showing off to his mother (an elementary school teacher) actually buzzed both Memorial school and the junior high. All the kids at lunch at the junior high started screaming.

[BugHunter]

I think i remember that day. I was in high school though

[Cobra5]

Yeah I remember that, He did buzz the high school, in an F-14 which he took without permission from a nearby aircraft carrier. He wanted to quit the military, so he did it by getting courtmarshalled. Not only did he take the jet without permission, he flew much lower then FAA allows even small proppeller planes.

[Tassatul]

Wow. So I imagine he got like, fined and maybe jailtime? Stealing government property. . .

[daft alchemist]

Dunno, but he almost sent his pregnant mom into labor because it scared her so bad. I think I remember one kid shouting (purely for fun) "the Mexicans are attacking!"
