well, the experiment works. Only problem is there is no way to steer or land.
Next story....An unusual amount of UFO sightings today reported in NE Colorado.

His voice could put you to sleep. I was flipping through the channels after school, and noticed it. It had been going on for an hour at that point. Maybe the kid accidently released the balloon, and thought he would get in trouble?

I can't believe this story is getting so much attention. Especially now that the boy was never on the thing.
IslandersWin86 - October 16, 2009 10:57 PM (GMT)
Publicity stunt. The kid said on TV "We did it for the show"
The family was featured on Wife Swap twice and Stormchasers. Just so happens that one of the episodes is airing tonight(?)

The jokes on them.
Disgraceful using your kids like that.
They don't deserve to be parents.
Those poor kids.
speaking of jokes, heard a good one recently and lord knows we need a laugh...

A little boy goes to his father and asks "Daddy, how was I born?"
The father answers: "Well son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said: 'You got Male!'" |
