**** 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!

Great! If I had to choose my favorite

Kennedy/flag. LOL!

[G8 Diplomat]

Along the theme of those cat pictures...

[honolulugal]

How appropriate.

Now that's funny!

[Raffus]

That is WAY TOO FUNNY! Thank you for the laughs. I’ve been literally laughing at that pic for more than a day now. I just saw the video. THANK YOU! LOL!

[Shyla]

Kinda funny in a sick way......

I guess I am a bit warped !

[Raffus]

No way - I swear my friends all thought it was hilarious! I’m still laughing and thank you for the pic!

BTW - do you know if it is female or male? I swear I still can't figure it out!

[Shyla]

Shemale!!!

Actually that is a clip from a 1934 movie.

I have to track it down and will share when I find!!!

[Raffus]

Thank you - I had so much fun w/post 199 (I remember the original post). My Air force retiree friend said she-male too. I guess that is the verdict. I thought it was a “dude”. There is some things in this world you can’t explain (according to C. Daniels) 8)

[Shyla]

I will find the movie that this clip belongs to and share it with you!!!

It is fun to be twisted : )
