Yeah but how awesome was that?
:hmm: Not very?  I realize nobody died but... a commercial aircraft was still destroyed.

I think what we should do is revive the old tradition of eating goose for holidays. :)

I don't think they're supposed to taste too good, at least compared to the fat white ones.

I've never had a problem with Canada geese, there are quite a few around here, but damn do they leave a lot of shit around, especially in park lawns where it's a lot more obvious.

Why do you think we made them leave?

Just think of how much worse Thanksgiving could have been if the American founding fathers had made it reflect Jamestown instead of the Pilgrims ...  :hmm:

QuoteOwsley described multiple chop and cut marks on the girl's skull that were made by one or more assailants after she died. "They were clearly interested in cheek meat, muscles of the face, tongue, and brain," he said. Jane's hair was not removed.

One of the foremost forensic anthropologists in the world, Owsley has analyzed numerous skeletal remains of prehistoric people who were victims of cannibalism. Their bones were similar to Jane's in that they had cut marks and were splintered and fragmented, he said.

Four closely spaced chop marks in her forehead indicated a failed attempt to split her skull open, Owsley said. The close proximity of the unsuccessful blows indicates that she was already dead, or they would have been more haphazard, he explained.

The back of her skull was then cracked open by a series of chops by a light weight axe or cleaver, he said.

Cleaver blades and knives excavated from the Jamestown site were compared to the blows, and Owsley said he thinks a cleaver was used.

There were also numerous cuts, saw marks, and gouges along her lower jaw made by the tip of a knife to get to the meat, and to remove throat tissue and the tongue, he said.

Yeah, that ain't your world.  You need to go back to toppling governments.  Like Coach Parcells said, you do what you do.

Save the presentations for pogues like HansyPoint.

Well, I'll either be moving back up to Maryland in the fall, or I'll be kicking it here waiting for a medboard to go through.  Still don't know which one is more likely to happen, so I can't plan for anything right now.   :wacko:
