Just imagine if the guy had sprayed cracker crumbs on the officer, as Ray did all those decades ago, walking home from Perino's.

Technically, WWB (walking while black), but still....

Back then you might get away with that, nowadays you'd at least be maced.

I may be misremembering, but the BBC radio had a program about this some years ago. Again, I may be misremembering, but I think a woman cosmonaut perished in this way also.

Gory details. http://www.jamesoberg.com/usd10.html

There are a couple of recordings of Vladimir Komarov's last transmission on YouTube, but they don't sound as bad as the description. The Hindenburg broadcaster actually sounds much more hysterical just witnessing people being barbecued than undergoing it himself.

Remember all the times I said, don't let yourself be intimidated out of doing things because that's letting the terrorists win? Well, here you go!

This totally sucks! http://www.msn.com/en-us/movie...qFY?ocid=mailsignout A real conspiracy that actually worked! I can see how North Korea wouldn't like this any more than we would like such a film about us, but it's going too far when a foreign country is telling us what to show in our theaters! It's good this did not happen when The Grapes of Wrath was released--but at least then orchard owners were merely threatening to prevent production, not blow up theaters showing the film! The Nazis did release rats and snakes in theaters showing All Quiet on the Western Front, but as far as I know did not shoot audience members! Which makes these guys in a way worse than the Nazis, and even worse than some Middle Eastern terrorists, since theaters weren't attacked due to several films supposedly insulting the Prophet Mohammad! I didn't even want to see The Interview but I was totally going to just to show them for being how they are!

A major company allowing itself to set a precedent for foreign dictatorships to determine what Americans watch is very bad--it is letting the terrorists win!

Another right handed implement. Hold it in your left hand and read the printing on the pencil. Wink
