Big bird (no relation) sings for the troll
One of these things is not like the others
One of these things just doesn't belong
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
Yeah, mac_truck’s dead horse is almost beaten to a pulp now, LOL

You’re not smart enough to understand the science and lack the common sense to admit it.
Good luck washing off the dumb.
“It really does look like a missile launch if you just look at it casually,” weather blogger Cliff Mass, who shared the photo on his blog on Monday, told KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson.
KOMO 4 News contacted NAS Whidbey and found that the base does not launch missiles. There were also no Naval ships in the area.
Mass, however, has a different theory.
“What I think it probably was was a helicopter,” he said. “Someone checked on all the various planes that were flying at that time, and it turns out there was a helicopter that went right over that location at the perfect time.”
Mass pointed out that no one reported hearing the sounds made by a rocket or seeing any sort of bright light that one would expect from a rocket blasting off.
The explanation, Mass said, is a bit of an optical illusion.
“You look at the picture, you think something’s taking off — but it could be just the opposite,” he said. “It could be something over you that’s going away from you, and it could give the same visual impression.”
He explained that if the helicopter is traveling at a constant height, as it travels away from you, it appears to get lower and lower. Using a 20-second exposure like the one used by Johnson, this could manifest itself as a vertical line in the sky.
“If the plane was going absolutely horizontal, it could give the impression that it was a vertical rocket or something,” he explained. “It could look the same way — and it’s just because of the perspective.”
If this explanation is true, that means Puget Sounders are safe from Kim Jong-un for the time being.
