Re: Find Out How the Neocons Staged a Terror Attack That Killed Thousands of Americans on 9/11

Would also put an end to children kicking the back of your seat.

Pre-flight announcement:

First, good morning and thank you for choosing Delta Airlines.

Ladies and gentlemen, you may notice some unfamiliar items mounted on the seat back in front of you -- or on the bulkheads for those of you in first-row seats. These range from aluminum baseball bats to replica battle axes. There are also several varieties of knives and tomahawks. Broadswords, and lances are mounted on the ceiling above the aisle.

These items are for your use in the unlikely event of an attempt to hijack the plane. We are, of course aware the weapons are also accessible to a hijacker. We are assuming most if not all of you wish to deplane at your destination airport rather than chance a landing in some skyscraper or some farmer's fields. We believe just the sheer weight of your numbers should quickly overwhelm any hijacker or group of hijackers.

We felt such items might be far more useful and perhaps entertaining than those stupid in-flight magazines.

Thank you for your attention. We shall be taking off momentarily.

Oh, I forgot to mention: All passengers who assist in neutralizing any hijacking attempt will receive a Delta Airlines Delta Dollars card for $500. These cards can be used the same as cash for tickets on any Delta domestic flight.

Delta will also pay for dry cleaning and stain removal for your clothing if necessary.

Enjoy the flight. Attendants will come around shortly to offer drinks and snacks. And again, thank you for flying Delta.

Haha! Jeez, I love yooper humor.

I'm confused. How does this relate to metalworking?

YES!!!!!

Where is it stated that SPAM has to be related to anything.

SPAM is any loco idea that is off topic.

Why should your group be any better off that ours (S.E.D).

Just ignore it.

The towers had metal in them. I'm sure there was electronics in there too.

You have to make your own baseball bat from a 6061 billet.(metalworking content)

You must use a CNC lathe or at least one equipped with DRO to do it. (electronics content)

It has some elements of risk. (gambling content)

uk.d-i-y is self explanatory. (British do d-i-y)

But, seriously folks, sorry for continuing the crossposting. Should have trimmed the newsgroups line. Mea culpa.

Aluminum baseball bats are metal.

Oh, heavens to betsy, you've gone and prolonged the thread! ;-D

I know what rugby _is_, its's sort of a Brit version of real football, where there are few or no rules, and they don't wear helmets or anything.

I guess the Brits like to show off how tough they are. ;-)

But, "The Septics"? Doesn't "septic" mean "infected"?

Thanks, Rich

Because you are a load of wusses

Septic tank - Yank

...As every expat knows

The lack of helmets probably explains a lot of unfortunate things we rarely discuss. d8-)
