Psychic tip prompts bomb search on plane

I know you skeptics out there will just looooovvvvvvveee this

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/South/03/....ap/index.html

Quote:
A self-described psychic's tip that a bomb might be on a plane prompted a search with bomb-sniffing dogs that turned up nothing suspicious, but forced the cancelation of the flight.

Well, I know that it's embarassing, but it could have been worse. You could have, to take a completely random example, said that Elton John totally copied REO Speedwagon.

I don't understand the people who refuse to post here. It makes no sense. There's nothing evil or unnatural about penguin love.

Take It One The Run

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around

They say you got a boy friend
You're up there every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down

But I know the nieghborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line

But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

Chorus:
You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run

You're thinking up your white lies
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you're coming home but you won't say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again

{Chorus}

You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run

You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around

I never posted here in the first place, so I don't see how you can tell me not to post here "anymore".

Please don't post off topic. This thread is now about not posting in this thread. Which I am very sad to note people have by and large been ignoring.

Oh yeah? Next you'll be telling me that you've been HARMED by people posting in threads. At least, you would if people were still posting here, which we've been asked not to do.
