Back in the sixties, Red Skelton had a variety show, and on the day of the show, they performed twice; The Dress Rehearsal and the Broadcast Show. During the Dress, Red went crazy, cracking every dirty joke he could like he had Tourette's Syndrome.

The studio wasn't crazy about him doing that in front of a live audience, but the alternative was letting go nuts on Live TV, so they let him blow off steam.

damn!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3638926.stmsolar capsule crashes into earth a capsule from the genesis probe, which has been gathering particles blown off the sun, has crashed back to earth.

the capsule entered the atmosphere as planned at 1555gmt (1655bst) but its drogue parachute failed to open.

They should of used Spiderman!

In issue #1 of "Amazing Spiderman" waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy back in 1963, the plot involved the hero trying to slow down a space capsule. He actually rides a jet, jumps out, and uses his webs to slow it down. With such science bending skills as this (after all, this is a high school kid that invented web fluid strong enough to hold onto a speeding capsule, out of ordinary household epoxy!), he should have been a natural to catch that capsule, with or without the parachute.

This whole incident smells like "stunt", and not even a very good one. Like a Robbie Knievel barrel jump.

Check and make sure that we aren't missing any humpback whales. I think we finally got our visit from the future, and Scotty just sold the secrets to ALCOA.

i assume it was an international convention.

i remember our house was full of relatives from ok including a tent or two in the yard.

anyone remember the year?.

CaptainSchmideo

I remember that convention. The last day of, my family was sitting in front of another family that had a really nice looking girl about my age. Of course, I was socially backward, and did not get her name until the very last minute. Oh, well, Jennifer Lamb, if you are out there, you are one of the best memories of that trip. The other was going to Astro-World on a two day pass after the sessions were over.

quote from Jesus:

?Woe to YOU , scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU resemble whitewashed graves, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful but inside are full of dead men?s bones and of every sort of uncleanness. 28 In that way YOU also, outwardly indeed, appear righteous to men, but inside YOU are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. "

?Serpents, offspring of vipers, how are YOU to flee from the judgment of Ge·hen´na? "

Good example of Jesus saying not so nice things to people. Sometimes, a spade has to be called a spade....

And now I notice that Big Tex beat me to the punch on this point.....
