Sounds like the alternator.

I never went there but I was never in the market for circuitry.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 12:49 PM) I'm betting he wishes he didn't reget that offer because he's not as attractive as AJ Burnett, CC Sabathia or even Derek Lowe. I think he's much more attractive than any of those 3 guys.

Would you have contacted the police if this happened to you?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 12:26 PM) ^^^ Yeah. He probably doesn't even 'face' the paper currency in his wallet either.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 09:57 AM) Why the hell would anyone put the roll where its coming out over the top? Because we are all normal.

We already all knew there was life on Mars. How else could you explain this...

I remember reading this a few years back. It blew my mind.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 03:50 PM) If we have an award in 2009 for worst thread idea, this had better win. Watch....this thread will wind up going on for several months with hundreds of posts.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 03:48 PM) The FAA has issued a preliminary statement saying that everyone survived, so I now won't feel bad posting the Simpsons line that immediately came to mind. 6 Reported Missing in Hudson River Crash

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) Is this really necessary? At least make it a poll and turn it into a semi-interesting thread.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 03:31 PM) Excellent and underappreciated movie. Indeed

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 03:03 PM) I think it would be cool if there were some soxtalk apparel that we could buy. I saw some limited things searching for it on google, but is it possible there is a bigger market for this? You try cafe press?

QUOTE (G&T @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) It's scary that a bird can bring down a plane. I always knew that was possible, but it's rare. The Edge

I think what you meant to say was "Who's a bigger fat ass?"

QUOTE (G&T @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) CNN is talking to a passenger. He said everyone is alive. Sounds like they all got out or are getting out. That's great news. On a sidenote: I do quite a bit of traveling for work and every single time I am on the tarmac ready to take off I envision the plane going down. I'll probably lose 5 years of my life from that isolated form of stress.

QUOTE (onedude @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) yeah...Hayter thought giving Snake a growly voice in MGS4 would add to him looking older. There's such a time disparity between each game release that I didn't even realize that he was purposefully doing that. I thought Snake sounded exactly the same as always.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 02:55 PM) Just about... I mean they state that possibility about as gently as you can without sounding ridiculous. Indeed. I'd assume the chance of survival would be minuscule...even in a water crash.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) Have you ever been on a flight, especially a transcontinental flight, and you hear them say "in the event of a water landing..." and thought about what a euphemism that was? What it really means is "uh, guys, in case the plane crashes into the ocean..." Considering what could have happened here this is as close to a 'water landing' as you can get. At least the thing didn't rip apart and sink within seconds.

Apparently the plane landed "gently" leading it to stay afloat for so long.

I'm watching the cnn live video feed. Scary.

Currently 20 degrees in NY.
