Day 141 - Namibians Have Big Balls, You Don't Want To Know How Much His Insurance Premiums Went Up, The Biggest Mystery Is What Some People Have In Their Skulls (+ A Little Farcical Sexism), And The Miracle Of The Sun Blindness

8:04 AM Mr. Brown
Dang, my cannon works really well.
That thing had been in space for a while.
8:05 AM Mr. Silver
Read it...my favorite bit is:
They cut an important  little tidbit from this version.  Here’s the line CNN cut that Rawstory didn't:"Several such balls have dropped in southern Africa, Australia and Latin America in the past twenty years, authorities found in an Internet search. "
8:06 AM Mr. Brown
I like that.  I’m going to start a helmet business there.
8:07 AM Mr. Silver
Spaceballs!
8:08 AM Mr. Brown
lol



8:58 AM Mr. Brown
Good job, dumb ass.
9:08 AM Mr. Silver
"Fortunately the damage is quite minor and will only cost $23,000."
9:11 AM Mr. Brown
lol
My car destroyed a deer and that only cost $3,000.
9:14 AM Mr. Silver
It’s a Lamborghini.
9:14 AM Mr. Blue
How much is your car worth?
9:14 AM Mr. Brown
$2,000
9:15 AM Mr. Silver
So it was "totaled" but you had it fixed anyway?
9:17 AM Mr. Brown
Well that’s up to the insurance company to say if it’s totaled, and they keep fixing it.
9:17 AM Mr. Silver
I repaired a totaled car once, but the values were in hundreds.
9:31 AM Mr. Silver
I have this image, midnight...a couple deer with tools sneaking up and sabotaging your car.
"You think this is right?" 
"Look...this bozo took out Harry, and then he took out Alice.  And he's still on the road and still in the same car.  What do YOU think?" 
"Yeah...yeah...  Ok, hand me the wire-cutters." 
9:34 AM Mr. Brown
LOL



9:33 AM Mr. Brown

Read the unsolved mystery
9:41 AM Mr. Silver
Yeah...that first one on Angikuni smells of "No one actually asked any of the Inuits what happened, because what would natives know, right?" 
9:42 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah.
9:51 AM Mr. Silver
"It's perfectly obvious that none of the very familiar "trapper" types that passed through the area for the 200 years before 1948 could have left a dovetailed box behind.  So it must have been Francis Crozier."
9:52 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah LOL
10:39 AM Mr. Brown
10:46 AM Mr. Silver
I always loved the proposal that he was flying upside down
"This theory was proposed by a group of experts who were found to have never experienced being upside down, and thus was unaware of what that feels like."
10:47 AM Mr. Blue
LOL
10:51 AM Mr. Silver
"The theory was retracted after a couple people volunteered to hold the experts upside down, evoking such sentiments as 'Holy crap, that’s weird!' and 'Wow!  No way!'."
10:52 AM Mr. Brown
Also the plane he was flying had gravity-fed fuel.  The engine would have stalled upside down.
10:54 AM Mr. Silver
Gravity-fed fuel or not, the proposal was moronic.
10:54 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah
10:57 AM Mr. Silver
Unless the guy happened to be blessed with his own null-gravity, was unable to sense inertia, and had a unique inner-ear problem, then closed his eyes long enough to miss the rotation and never looked at his horizon instruments, he would know he was upside down. 
10:59 AM Mr. Brown
Well they were saying that’s what happened to Kennedy when he crashed.  He got disoriented and flew down.
10:59 AM Mr. Silver
JFK Jr. wasn't upside down.  He wasn't paying attention to altitude; probably because he was being chattered at to distraction by the two women who hassled him into flying in the first place.
11:10 AM Mr. Silver
(John John) "Shut UP shut UP SHUT UP!!!  Let me FLY!" 
(uncomfortable silence...)
(Carolyn)  "What's that number...it's been counting down for about 15 minutes." 
(all) "AUGH!!!!!"
11:58 AM Mr. Silver
The one mystery crash I found interesting was the one where the people on the ground could actually see the plane circling the island...populated, with airstrip...and she kept saying there was nothing down there but trees, like a deserted island.
Just circled til she ran out of fuel and crashed, I believe. 
11:59 AM Mr. Blue
"Woman inexplicably allowed to fly plane crashes it into ocean."
12:02 PM Mr. Silver
"Impulsive female stunt ends in hysteria and tragedy."
12:07 PM Mr. Silver
"Aviation authorities seek man responsible for enabling fatal incident."



12:10 PM Mr. Brown
12:13 PM Mr. Blue
If you stare at the sun you will certainly see "miracles".
12:13 PM Mr. Silver
For a while anyway.
12:15 PM Mr. Brown
Or you just won't see anything anymore.
12:16 PM Mr. Silver
You usually get your vision back after a while...it's a miracle.
Step 1...stare into sun.
Step 2...be struck blind looking at Virgin Mary.
Step 3...stay blind a while.
Step 4...Virgin Mary cures your blindness.
12:18 PM Mr. Blue
Look at the sun and then look slightly away, you'll see dancing circles of different colors.
12:20 PM Mr. Brown
I think I saw a movie done on that particular incident.
12:28 PM Mr. Silver
"Eyeballs of Fire - The Sun Miracle Story"
12:45 PM Mr. Blue
I find it weird that we can't stare at the Sun.
It's been around all these years and we're so damn stupid, you'd think we would have become accustomed to it over the years.
12:46 PM Mr. Brown
Well, I have stared at it before.
12:46 PM Mr. Blue
I’m not surprised.
12:46 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
12:46 PM Mr. Brown
I did not see anything but the Sun.
12:51 PM Mr. Silver
Ever stare into the Sun, Ms. Red?
12:51 PM Ms. Red
LOL...do I wear glasses?
12:52 PM Mr. Brown
Hey, I don't have glasses from staring at it.
12:53 PM Ms. Red
Ahhhh, so you went blind the other way.
12:53 PM Mr. Silver
BOOM!
One for Ms. Red!
12:52 PM Mr. Silver
Well, I mean...in your experience, if some Portuguese kids told you it was a great idea...would you jump on the idea or do something else?
12:58 PM Ms. Red
Mmm, that would be a no.
It would be much more likely that I would suggest it to them, just to see if they'd be dumb enough to do it.
1:10 PM Mr. Silver
So the conclusion is that...as an irresponsible parent (heck, they aren't your kids)...you'd tell them to stare at the Sun. 
I'm ok with that.
2:40 PM Mr. Brown
2:42 PM Mr. Blue
The childrens' faces were horribly mutilated!
(click picture below)
2:44 PM Mr. Silver
Augh!
Oh the humanity!
