When we debunked this one in S&D, I checked a UFO website to see how many people were touting it as genuine. I had to laugh when I found that they had pegged it as a fake as well. How? Everyone knows that "real UFOs" don't make banking turns! :smile:

Fox on ET and Hawking

Perhaps "lame" should have been included in the posting parameters. :biggrin: I love the former CIA agent who is outraged because people are sending signals to ET from their computers.

While I'm dissing Fox News, I might as well throw this one in:

..Hawking said once spaceships were built that could fly faster than the speed of light, a day on board would be equivalent to a year on Earth. That's because -- according to Einstein -- as objects accelerate through space, time slows down around them...

Wow...I am speechless at all the stupidity that was uttered in just 4 minutes...My favourite part is "arthouse films like Independence Day"... I am afraid to even ask what they would consider a "brainless" movie if independence day is art to them
