What will we do when the clowns are gone..?

Sad day today with the news that comedy great Leslie Nielsen died aged 84.  Naked Gun and Flying High are still two of my favourites.   With Nielsen and Greg Geraldo dead so close apart, the world is just a little less silly unfortunately. 

On a lighter note – have you ever wondered how those zany creationists can accept the presence of dinosaurs, and yet hold to the theory that the earth is only 6000 years old?  Well.. wonder no more.  Three words:  dinosaurs on ark.  That’s right – the creation museum in Petersburg, Kentucky explains it all, and it’s all perfectly logical.  You see, Moses got two of every animal, including dinosaurs, onto the big boat.  Now – I see you roll your eyes.  How can a big T, let alone two get aboard a man made boat.  Well.. they weren’t all full size ya silly billly.  They were baby dinosaurs.    Jesus loves baby dinosaurs.  

Dinosaurs on the Ark

Saw an interesting sight on the weekend.  A gang of bikies (sorry.. not suggesting anything.. how about.. a loose association based on mutual enjoyment of motorbikes, loose women and crime) rolled into town this weekend, and I found myself stuck in the middle of the street waiting for them to park.  Have you ever noticed that they all look very menacing in their black leathers, bandana’s and bowling ball helmets… right up to the point that they have to do tippy toe their bikes backwards into to a car park..    The soundtrack in my head goes from Wild One, to the Nutcracker suite.  Tippy tippy toe.. tippy toe..  Don’t dwop dat heavy bikey wikey…

Okay.  Too far?  Don’t kill me.

Snake update.  Still there.  Still big.  Don’t kill me.

Did you hear about this?  An Indian co-pilot sent a Boeing 737 into a terrifying nosedive when he adjusted his seat..  “Sorry! My bad!”.   The pilot had stopped out for a toilet break, and couldn’t get back into the cockpit.  The pilot finally got back in, and was able to wrestle control back over the aircraft.     References people.. references!   Reminds me of why I stopped learning to fly.  Know your limitations. 

In related news, a woman stripped nude during a flight, and was restrained before being taken into custody on a Delta airlines flight.  She was not charged – and nor should she.  Unless she was fat and/or ugly.

And finally, an audit by the Department of Energy has determined one small ‘potential vulnerability’ in the handling of nuclear missiles.  The  people transporting them have been found to be drunk on the job!   Well.. perhaps if you thought that the next pothole you hit could be your last, you’d want a little something to settle the nerves.
