Would Chuck Norris be able to ride in an airplane, or would they dare decline him permission to board; since he, alone, is a weapon?

Or does Chuck Norris merely desire himself to a new location, and thus have no need for air travel...

It's hilarious to walk around campus today. It's snowing, and there should be a blizzard at some point today. All the foreign students (mostly from South Korea or China) are overreacting to the weather, with parkas and enormous hats and mittens. Meanwhile us natives are wearing our coats unzipped, not really bothered. :lol:

(On that note, if it weren't for the maple leaf flying in the park it would be easy to forget what country I'm in; almost everyone I see is Asian, and most of the conversations I hear are in Korean. :blink:)

Thanks to Orbiter, we now know why the most popular hijacked-airplane destination has been Habana.

Those dudes really wanted to fly in space!

One engine, one rudder, part of a wing, etc. Just not at the same time. Heck, I have been around one that had took a near miss from a SAM in the first gulf war. bent the wingspar, trashed both hydraulic systems, and deskineed the inner lieading edge of the right wing. Damn thing flew back to base, was patched up, and flew back to the US before the bent spar was found. It was retired on the spot. :)
The main gear stick out for precisely the reason of that picture.
What's the cause of the gun damage? The nose is unharmed otherwise.

I can't tell you for certain, but I know sometime in the 80's, a F-15 collided with a A-4 and lost a few feet of it's right wing, spun quite a bit, lost its entire wing, recovered and was safely landed.

My understanding is that it was damaged upon landing.

Astronautix said:
A Moscow urban legend reported that the Apollo 11 astronauts were in fact stranded on the moon due to an engine malfunction. A naked Russian cosmonaut, Pofiri Yebenov, obviously stranded on the moon some time before, assisted them in repairing their lunar module so they could return safely to earth.

Real-world cosmonaut Gregori Grechko went so far as to ask US moonwalker Aldrin if there was any truth to the story. An astounded Aldrin denied the story and confirmed that they had not encountered any human beings or wild life on the lunar surface. Perhaps Aldrin would have gotten the joke had he known that Yebenov means 'f---ked' in Russian....

:rofl:

Ok, that took a while to realize that Google is celebrating Stanislaw Lem today... but really a nice gimmick of them again.

The on-the-ground photos there are real, and the accident did occur, but the in-the-air photos are shopped ('cause nobody was standing there with a camera when the accident happened, so the History Channel needed to take stock footage and edit the wing out to get the in-the-air shots).

It was the best photo I could find. :p

At least the best one that could demonstrate what happened.

No, its a documentary about file sharing...its on youtube. It has a good point, what people such as those who run the pirate bay, are doing what the internet was designed to do...which is share information.
