How about a volleyball? I've heard stories from the Cuban Missile Crisis about an RF-101 Voodoo pilot who flew over some officers' quarters, and almost took a volleyball into the intakes. THAT's what I call low flying.

NOE flight... if you do it right, you have to be more afraid of suddenly appearing deers, then about birds. Oh I love flying the A-10... time to buy the DCS package for it...

Let me just bring this old story back up:

Could we consider Beethoven or Haydn just to see how media reports about loud classical music? No "evil youth" and "sounds of satan" possibility, just a popular peace of classical music and conservative media.
Suggesting Wagner and the national anthem? One fueling german nationalism one advocating antisemitism. Anything you want to tell me?

You can't blame me for Wagner. And our national anthem is not nationalist... it is too alcohol fueled for that. If we would only sing the first stanca and let it follow by the Horst Wessel song on the other hand, and thus drop all mentioning of Wine and Women...

Keep in mind that we're talking about drawing complaints from ones neighbors and garnering negative media attention using classical music. If that's what we're after, the following sounds just about perfect:
Hey, the forbidden song has the first mention of stormtroopers, which afterwards were in a legendary movie, so it can't be that bad after all.
Wait, whose banner is going to fly? But stormtroopers were to ones of Sidious not H...H...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (sequel reference, my bad).

Add Volk ans Gewehr and you can be jailed here. But on the other hand you can barbecue on this, of course meat not...I'm going to sleep since my thoughts creep me out

I read that one the other day (when you inadvertantly sent me on a 9-hour Cracked crawl with that link about badass space activities.) The last one, the Rubix Cube solver, was really impressive.

Interesting that you are changing flights in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagoya"]Nagoya[/ame]....but then it's not like that there are many passengers that can support a Manila - Detroit direct flight anyway.
Here's the plane you have just flew (747, right?):

20 years ago on this day, the group of software and protocol that we now know as the World Wide Web (for those who don't know, it was made by several people at the holy land of particle physics, CERN) was released to the public as free software - the turning point of the establishment of the largest web of data flows ever: http://info.cern.ch/

Funnily enough, the orchestral version of "der Ritt der Walküren" is playing just now in the coffeeshop I'm working, which is pretty unusual. I also happen to have the complete CD edition of the ring, and I actually listened it through from beginning to the end.
I can just imagine the shock on the neighbours' faces when the walkyries come riding in at 4 in the morning...
"HOYO-TO-HOuOuOuOuOuOuOuO! HOYO-TO-HOuOuOuOuOuOuOuOuO!" :lol:
(note: the "u"s in between symbolise a vibrato large enough to drive a freight train through)
Also a note on Wagner and anti-semitism: It's not really accurate. Sure, Wagner was a nationalist, but that was the usual nationalism that lodged itself firmly in the head of every intelectual and artist at the time. It wasn't his fault that Hitler happened to like him a lot. Schiller would have suffered the same fate if he had the Idea to rework the Nibelungen song instead of Joanne of Arc and William Tell...
