Yep, a classic example of not only shooting yourself in the foot but blowing your leg off as well. Poor little Showtime loosing all his respect in HB circles

Yes, but other than the sand and the language thing, Quebec and Kuwait are pretty much the same thing.

Just uncovered this gem from Duane Daman and had to share:

"I don't base my beliefs or knowledge on faith , but rather on empiricle evidence .. For me , and millions of other people , Apollo was an obvious hoax on every level"

Well, Duane has never been strong on empirical evidence. Any evidence, for that matter.

It depends. Maybe he's only convinced if there's a biblicle reference. Maybe he thinks the relation of the launch dates with the solstical is suspicious.

Anyway, I think Apollo was the pinnical of space exploration.

Actually it's pinocchio, which translates from Italian as "pine knot" (pino, pine; occhio, eye = knot).

I'm still trying to teach people the difference between cubical and cubicle. The spell-checker may be your friend, but a knowledge of Latin is more like a lover.

Yes, I realise you were all being chemical. That's why I misspelled Pinocchio. Well done that man.
