Using the Hindenburg disaster like reporting was a stoke of genius.

At least these had a fleeting flight and a little freedom as opposed to the one you'll have part of for thanksgiving.

Where has your your indignation been since 1946?

Radio station in Sacramento got into trouble with a planned 'groundhog' drop from a balloon on Feb 2. Uproar did not subside when the groundhog was revealed to be a package of pork sausage.

That was the first thought in my mind as I read the teaser. Bombing the mall parking lot. So funny, and the FAA never got involved!

Wild turkeys fly quite frequently... Tame one's can but most do not...

Turkeys can fly of course. Tame and frozen turkeys not so much.
