I find it... interesting that Hil cites Earhart as one of her heroes. :)

Like I said, I think it was fine that she wanted to be a single lady in such a time - but that doesn't mean that her treating a bunch of people like shit is a good thing.

But that makes her a bitchy woman.  And she wouldn't allow any man to hold her back from doing what she wanted!

Okay?

At least we can agree that Camille Paglia's a lot awesomer than Amelia was :hug:

Are these the people who think that she lingered for a while on a desert island before being eaten by crabs?
Yes, and  :rolleyes: at the 'big announcement'.

Even though I really don't agree with TIGHAR's theory I've lurked on their forums for years just because I find it interesting how everything is pretty much an open book there.  The Earhart thing is Ric Gillespie's main source of income so he's going to do everyything he can to keep the theory alive as long as possible.  I'm not calling him a con artist or anything but he has huge financial incentive to keep it going no matter what.

Also, the CNN story on this said an "analyst" spotted the sonar anomaly.  The "analyst" in question is a goof on their forums named Richie Conroy who is in essence the Raz of TIGHAR (no offense, Raz).... dude is obsessed with the TIGHAR theory and pretty much spends all day looking at imagery and data and posting on the forums.  He's a weird British dude... maybe more accurately described as a cross between Raz and Tyr.  99% of what he posts is utter rubbish; he just got lucky this time.
That dude found my Languish post about him via Teh Google, cross-posted this on their forums, and they had a little bitchfest about it. :showoff:

In related drama, they got a huge donation last year from this rich dude who is now suing them for, in his opinion, discovering the plane's wreckage but lying about it so they can continue to seek funding for more expeditions to the island.  Also, they still allow him to post on their forums and they're cool with that. :wacko: ...and you guys thought this place was weird...
