Re: Boy Stuck In Balloon

They've been saying for a while now that the balloon had nowhere near enough lift for the boy to have ever been in the balloon while in flight.

So the parents failed twice?

And risk hitting Elvis? Get real.

Apparently they're professional stormchasers, which I guess kinda explains the homemade balloon.

Oh, good. Now we don't have to worry about when that's going to start anymore. When does it end?

When the Jews rebuild the temple. Jesus, doesn't anybody go to Sunday school anymore?

Kids are off today in Minnesota for Teacher stuff.

Maryland, too. The kids call it a "Teacher Drinking Day."

I don't think Jesus reads the cafe. He sticks to the D1 forum.

Did the father get the idea for the design of the balloon after making a batch of Jiffy Pop?
