**** OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD **** Aug. 9, 2007

Welcome to the
O.F.S.T.
(Official Friday Silliness Thread)

Good morning and welcome to the Silliness!  Lucky9Teen had to be away today and so I'm posting the OFST for her today.  She will be back next week!

Today is the anniversary of the death of Robert Goddard, father of American rocketry, who died in 1945.  Time Magazine proclaimed him a fool for believing that travel in outer space was possible.  I guess some things never change huh?  Goddard proved them wrong on March 16, 1926, when he finished building a spindly, 10-ft. rocket he dubbed Nell, loaded it into an open car and trundled it out to his aunt Effie's nearby farm.  It flew a mere 41 ft. high and the flight lasted only about 2.5 seconds, but with it came the reality of modern space flight.  So Goddard had the last word.

We've all probably known someone who was really smart - I mean book smart.  There was this guy in my Physics class in my senior year.  His name was Sam.  He had perfect grades - 5.0 in all his honors science and math classes.  He was a REAL brainiac.  But one day during Physics class we were all listening to Mrs. Michaels talk about some experiment we were getting ready to do, and Sam went flying off his stool.  It seems that he decided to stick a wire in an electrical outlet and the resulting shock knocked him backwards a few feet and arc welded the circuit.  So here's the question of the day... what's the dumbest thing you've ever seen a really smart person do?

Let the silliness commence!

I used to put models together, the glue tips always got hard.
Acetone would fix that quickly.
But you had to be careful of dripping acetone on your model.

They complained about it.

My daughters Pontiac Grand Prix (similar car to his)had a problem with the AC not wanting to run. She is a college student and went to an AC guy in her college town and he want about the same dollar amount to replace the controls and the evaporator.

She came home on a weekend, I took it to a local guy who is a pro, he found it was a short in the key/ignition system and replace a wiring harness for $150.

AC on and blowing cold!

“Who’d a thought one could luxuriate in a sleeping bag?”

Are you sure we should be discussing that here? :}

Deer hunting with a bird.

Bow, general gun, blackpowder, ok I’m right there. Using a live eagle?, now that’s a new one. This eagle almost lifts the deer completely off the ground.
