I heard this story a while ago, and went to snopes to look it up to refresh my memory.

The guy was a hero, but he died last year, not three weeks ago. Not sure why the chain e-mail would lie about the date of death. Doesn't make sense, and actually detracts from the man's accomplishments to mix lies in with the truth. The truth is good enough.

Because Michael Jackson died on June 25th - a slightly longer version with that date notes how the media is jumping all over Jackson's death while "ignoring" Freeman's death (supposedly on the same day.)

My bad. I learned of it from a Marine buddy via a FWD. I need to learn to research. Oh well..... still a valid point.

Absolutely. :)




(Don't take offense, cap'n, I'm just poking you. :stickpoke)

None taken. I missed that thread. Thanks for pointing that out.

just cruising the IOTD forum, contemplating the 2010 cellar calendar, comparing most viewed and most replied-to threads, and notice that there is little correlation between the two.

Notably two 2009 posts which hardly rate a mention in the replies thread are right up there in the most viewed. I suspect we attract the internet perv element -the threads were entitled "dirty art" and "whale penis". :lol:

no, go find them yourself.

We Won! on ebay. lego star wars windscreens lot

it's a big deal to those in the know. srsly.

Windscreens, as in the British way of saying car windshield? Or some other kind of windscreen? I do not understand what it is you have purchased, but I believe you that it is cool.

I just snorted.

coke?

must be a nerd/star wars space thing, because yes, i mean windshield, but you get more and better hits on ebay if you call them windscreens.

(and yes, you are correct is it British for Windsheild, but i haven't used it on the context of a real car for at least 7 years now.....)

*stop snorting, it's bad for you*

Okay, but... what is a Lego Star Wars windshield, exactly? I don't know about you, but my windshields are clear. And why do you need a whole lot of them--how many cars are you planning on outfitting with these things? Or are you going to resell them in this lucrative Lego Star Wars market?

You bought a lot of these things? Sure they're cool, but how many do you need?
