      I just watched it, and I'm still in awe. I never joined one camp or the other, I just didn't know. But I was surprised!

            The funny thing is the people that are still going on about how it's still not true.

            It just goes to show that even Christ could come back and tell the whole world that the stories are true, that his life was everything they ever said it was, that Heaven, Hell, God and the Devil are real, and people still wouldn't believe it.

              How so? RC cars are driven by their wheels, not a propeller or otherwise that has nothing to do with how fast the wheels are spinning. Don't worry about answering that. I didn't see the show because I already knew the damn answer, so I'm not sure if you're kidding or not.

                Watch it - then you'll see. They just used it as an example of the difference between a plane and a car.

                  I was in awe of how un-scientific it was done, and I am in the camp that knew it was going to take off anyways! Sometimes that show really disappoints me.

                          Wow, look what the fuck happened..... It exploded! I hope we're not next.

                          Internet failure hits two continents

                          DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CNN) -- Large swathes of Asia, the Middle East and north Africa had their high-technology services crippled Thursday following a widespread Internet failure which brought many businesses to a standstill and left others struggling to cope.

                          One major telecommunications provider blamed the outage, which started Wednesday, on a major undersea cable failure in the Mediterranean.
                          India's Internet bandwidth has been sliced in half, The Associated Press reported, leaving its lucrative outsourcing industry trying to reroute traffic to satellites and other cables through Asia.
                          Reports say that Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain are also experiencing severe problems.
                          Nations that have been spared the chaos include Israel -- whose traffic uses a different route -- and Lebanon and Iraq. Many Middle East governments have backup satellite systems in case of cable failure.
                          There were contradictory reports on the real cause behind the disruption, but Du, a state-owned Dubai telecom provider, attributed it to an undersea cable cut between Alexandria, Egypt and Palermo, Italy.


                          I personally blame it on the fucking conveyor belt and the air plane. And How the fuck did that airplane take off

                            Unfortunately, I think they felt that they had to dumb it down to it's simplest components so that people would understand. It was a little unsettling that the pilot didn't think he was going to take off.

                                It was not enough for me eithr. I mean come on, pull a long ass tarp for a while from the back of a truck with a plane preped to daxi on it headed the oppisite direction. You gotta admit, could you imagine the 787 sized treadmill they'd had to have built to "really" get it. I say they did more then anyone behind a monitor and keyboard had to this point.
