Who is the gullible one here? I didn't say I believed it.. Just that I got it from a friend and that is was interesting.. What I REALLY enjoy is posting something silly like this post and watching all the brain wizards and know it alls come out of the wood works thinking they are all that.. When in fact.. They are acting in precisely the manner in which I expected them to... A comical one... LOL "Who's the dummy now? Heee Heee Hee He... Rhino

Gullible?? How do you mean?

Dayuuummmm... Viking... Nicely done Rhino

Good riddens........

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,131693,00.html I REALLY hope this happens some day.. That would kick ass...

Better to go after him while he only has a few to lob around than 1,000......

I actually agree with you... We might want to consider feeding the millions of people there that are starving.. That would be the right thing to do anyways..

Pretty smart considering our troops would have been vaporized??

There is very little doubt in my mind.. That explosion was a low-grade nuclear blast. Our administration will deny it, while in secret imminent plans are likely being drawn up to "DEAL" with North Korea. The North Koreans are ten times more important to be dealing with than the middle east. They fucked up... Iran will likely be right behind them in the "oops, we fucked up" category. That size explosion "could have been" about the same size bomb as our Daisy Cutter.. My guess is low grade nuke... Rhino

IRAQ - VERY INTERESTING - DID YOU KNOW? 1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq. 2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization! 3. Noah built the ark in Iraq. 4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq. 5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq! 6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq. 7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq. 8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq. 9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel. 10. Amos cried out in Iraq! 11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem. 12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq! 13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the fiery furnace!) 14. Belsh! azzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq. 15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq. 16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq. 17. The wise men were from Iraq. 18. Peter preached in Iraq. 19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon,which was a city in Iraq! And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible. No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq! . And also... This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace. (Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?! God Bless you all Amen !

AUTO REPAIR ;;;;;;;;;;;;;; a blonde pushes a BWM into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it just died. After he works on the car for a few minutes, its is running smoothly. She says " What's the story ?" The mechanic replies " Just crap in the carburetor" She asks " How often should I do that ?" SPEEDING TICKET ;;;;;;; A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks to see her license. She replies in a huff " I wish you guys would get your act together. Yesterday you take away my license and today you expect me to show it to you." RIVER WALK ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; A blonde went out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blond on the opposite bank. "Yoo Hoo" she yells, "How do I get to the other side ?". The second blond looks up and down the river bank and shouts back , "You ARE on the other side." IN A VACUUM ;;;;;;;;;;;;;; A blonde was playing a game of Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed on Science and Nature. Her question was " If u are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it ?". She thought for awhile and then asked "Is it on or off ?" FINAL EXAM ;;;;;;;;;;;;;; The Blonde reported for her high school final exam that consists of questions with yes and No answers. She sits down in the exam room. She stares at the questions for 5 minutes and then in a fit of inspiration, talkes out her purse, removes a coin and starts tossing the coin, marking the answer sheet, Yes for heads and No for tails.. Within a half hour she is done, where as the rest of the class is still working on the test Finally during the final few minutes, she is seen desperately throwing the coin, muttering and sweating. The moderating teacher, facisinated by all this, asks the Blonde what she is doing. The Blonde answered " Well I finished the exam in a half hour and now I am rechecking my answers? BLONDE ON THE SUN ;;;;;;;;; A Russian, An American and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said "We were the first in space!" The American says " We were the first on the moon !" The Blonde says "So what ? We are going to be the first on the Sun. Both the Russian and the American scratch their heads and say "You Cant land on the sun, its too hot. You will burn Up". The blonde looks at them both and says " We are not stupid. We are going at night !" THE BEST DUMB BLOND JOKE OF THE YEAR, SO FAR ****************** A man was in his front yard mowing his grass when his blonde next door neighbor came running out of the house and went straight to the mail box. She opened it and then shut it and stormed back into her house. A few minutes later she came out again and again ran to the mail box. opened it and finding nothing, again stormed back in the house. A third time this happened and the neighbor, now totally puzzled by her actions, stops her before she can re-enter her house. He asks her " Is something wrong ?". She looks dead at him and replies ********** ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ?? *********************************** "There certainly is. My stupid computer keeps telling me "You have mail !"

This is some FUNNY shit!! LOL see attached..

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?" St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move." "Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?" "That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie." "Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?" St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life." "Where's John Kerry's clock?" asked the man. "Kerry's clock is in Gods' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan.

If you are loading a Spectre at .95 I wouldn't attempt anything but a straight in "double front" riser approach. You will need to practice that for a while then move into a canopy with a longer recovery arc so you don't hurt yourself. My opinion.. Also, 1st video- flare looked a tad quick. 2nd video- good staged flare, I don't believe you used the entire speed range of the canopy. You were only about 1/2 brakes when you started running. It is very important that you learn the slow speed range of your canopy before the high speed. How many jumps do you have? How many stand up landings? What advice did your canopy coaches give you?? Rhino

Sure it can. The cowards inside that school stated to the hostages "we are here to commit a terririst act".. Innocent people were killed by a bunch of fucking morons with no regard for human life? How is this not the same? and Word is.. Al Queda may even be involved.. 9-11 = Al Queda Russia = Al Queda 9-11 = innocent civilians killed Russia = innocent civilians killed Hmmmm.... Rhino

Bill.. Please get video so the rest of us can learn from that event.

A crossfire2 at 80 jumps will put someone in a casket. Don't care what they load it at,.

The game is on now.... Russia now knows how it feels to walk 10 feet in our shoes.

I believe you are 100% accurate.. Let some dick heads start setting off bombs in shopping malls here in the US and you won't be able to by rope fast enough in this country.
