Also, would the heavy rain make for a faster decent with an open canopy given the extra weight from the water?

So I had this idea after reading the news about Zazi.
Those permits for coffee carts in New York City are damn hard to come by. Better than a hack license, or a license for a horse cart around Central Park. Better than a salmon fishing license.
So I figured I'd visit him in prison and work a deal to buy it off him. I mean, what's he going to do with it now? He's done.
So I go there, and I brought a coffee, with a plastic stirrer on Georger's recommendation.
And I get there, and after they strip search me and I explain my intentions. They say, "Haven't you heard? there's more charges".
Dec. 3. “It is likely there will be additional charges,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Knox told a federal judge today in a hearing in Brooklyn, New York. “Our anticipation is that we will be seeking a superseding indictment.”

"Prosecutors said in court papers that Zazi conspired with at least three others. Knox said previously that the evidence against Zazi is “voluminous” and “the conspiracy here is international in scope.”
Classified Evidence
Knox told Dearie today that the government’s evidence includes recorded conversations from court-authorized wiretaps that are classified. He said some of those conversions haven’t been translated from Pashto, Arabic and Dari, an Afghan language.
After Zazi drove from Denver to New York in early September, he attempted to assemble the bomb, prosecutors said. "
So that's news, if they're saying he actually attempted to assemble some bomb. If he did, where is it? I've never heard of them finding any bomb or bomb components. Is it still out there? Probably. Probably has some kind of time delay fuse on it?
"The case is U.S. v. Zazi, 09-cr-00663, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn). "
Additionally, it's been discovered that the real Al-Qaeda problem is in the U.S. There are known communist sympathizers now loyal to Al-Qaeda.
"Al-Qaeda followers are inside the United States and would like to attack targets here and in other countries, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday night. "
"The fact is that home-based terrorism is here. And like violent extremism abroad, it is now part of the threat picture that we must confront," Napolitano said. "Individuals sympathetic to al-Qaeda and its affiliates, as well as those inspired by their ideology, are present in the U.S., and would like to attack the homeland or plot overseas attacks against our interests abroad."

Lock and load, folks. Our interests abroad are under attack.

They can't capture Bin Laden so they take some hot dog vendor who is already in custody and turn him into the new Bin Laden. Makes sense to me.
You are in rare form today Snow. Schlitz was not the only one grinning.
How does a non Catholic nominate a person for sainthood? Is there a Vatican website or something?
I mean how long are they going to ignore Tina's miracle? Cooper literally vanished. Tina did it and then went into a cloistered nunnery. Lesser miracles and devotion have resulted in beatification and cannonization.
I am going to make a Tina dashboard statue. She will become the patron saint of jumpers. You heard it first on dropzone.com.

QuoteHow long would it take to free fall 10,000 feet? If the chute did not open would someone lose consciousness during the fall?
Higher altitude, and there are a couple stories like this one, but I like this one because, being Russian, he returned to flying within 3 months. Nyet Problem!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Chisov
Ivan Mikhailovich Chisov was a Soviet Airforce Lieutenant who is notable for surviving a fall of nearly 22,000 feet (6 700 meters).
Lieutenant Chisov was a Soviet Airforce Lieutenant on an Ilyushin Il-4 bomber. In January of 1942, German fighters attacked his bomber, forcing him to bail out at an altitude of approximately 22,000 feet. With the battle still raging around him, Lt. Chisov intentionally did not open his parachute, since he feared that he would just be an easy target for an angry German while he was dangling from his parachute harness. He planned on dropping below the level of the battle, and then, once he was out of sight of the German fighters, he would open his chute and land safely. However, he lost consciousness on the way down, and was unable to pull the rip cord.
Miraculously, he was not killed. He hit the edge of a snowy ravine at an estimated speed of somewhere between 120 and 150 mph, then slid, rolled, and plowed his way down to the bottom. He suffered spinal injuries and a broken pelvis, but was able to fly again three months later.

I like the little tidbits, like how the recorded conversations are "classified" even though they haven't translated all of them.
"I don't know what they were saying, but dammit it wasn't English, and that's proof enough for me!"
hell I don't know what's up with Zazi. All I know is the volume of rhetoric by our government, seems to be more criminal than any facts released so far.
People forget so quickly, that no bomb was found. Yeah there's the stuff in Colorado, and it's still unclear what he was doing.
But enough time goes by, and people are going to just start remembering he was part of 9/11.

QuoteJAT stewardess Vesna Vulović survived a fall of 33,000 feet (10,000 m)[1] on January 26, 1972 when she was aboard JAT Flight 367. The plane was brought down by explosives over Srbská Kamenice in the former Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). The Serbian stewardess suffered a broken skull, three broken vertebrae (one crushed completely), and was in a coma for 27 days. (from Wikipedia)

Who needs translation? Felonious intent can be established by tone of voice under the Patriot Act if the speaker is conversing in an Arabic dialect.
Customer service call center technology research is trying to quantify customer-on-hold anger by analysing syllabic rate, voice frequency modulation extremes, volume, latency in responding to canned questions, etc. The idea is to move the angriest customers up to the front of the line in the customer-on-hold que.
Snowmman Industries has no customer service hotline. If you complain you are no longer a customer. SI has stuff that their customers desperately need to reorder. There is no such thing as sufficient ammunition or a lifetime supply of heat seeking missiles.

How many of you already know that Christina (Tina) Mucklow graduated from Lankenau School for Girls in Germantown, Pa.? The school is closed now.

I didnt know that Sluggo. How did you find out and what significance does it have?
Should my dashboard statue have Tina in an NWA outfit or something more saintly? As I recall NWA was considerably more modest in their flight attendant outfit design than PSA's "skytramp" theme.
I may try to register the trademarks SKYTRAMP and HOT SAINT if Snowmman Industries has not already taken them. I am definitely not implying that Tina was a tramp. I hold her in high esteem. Tina would not have gone for Tiger Woods after he was married. I am certain of that. Not my Tina, no way.
