Just watching the video is crazy.  Can you imagine being in one of those cars?  Not even enough time to shit yourself.

Is this only US data? That chart is really misleading, as the majority of Hindus polled probably came to the US initially via H1B visas (or were on student visas and converted), to fill well-paying jobs that require a college degree.

The left part of the graph, though...still full of lolz.

It just doesn't pay to be a Pentecostal.

[Paelos]

Makes sense. It's why I switched from Baptist to Methodist.

Looks like an engine power failure. Dropped like a rock.

Here is another video, in a bit better quality: http://youtu.be/hDshs7trY-I

I went through it at quickly in VLC with frame-by-frame. It looks like the plane cleared the buildings without touching. Besides that it's pitched up, but losing height. So engine out makes sense. Airspeed is dropping, the left wing enters a stall just before the right (=loss of lift), so plane tilts over at that side.

At least that's my uneducated assessment.

Episopalian/ Anglicans marry into it.  Source: Mom & Grandma were such and got their husbands to convert.

Now just imagine where the Hinjews would be if they'd included them on that chart!

[Paelos]

Now just imagine where the Hinjews would be if they'd included them on that chart!

Meanwhile, Muslim nations, citing the difficult Hinjew merger, said they have discontinued talks with the world's largest religion to form Chrislam.

"It wouldn't have worked anyway," said Imam Satra Mohammed of Damascus. "The first time we drank the communion wine, we would have all had to kill ourselves."

Neil Armstrong's secret bag of Moon landing mementos 'that were supposed to remain in space' discovered by his widow in a closet

Some cool stuff that Neil brought back with authentication photos. 

[Cyrrex]

Some of those are probably sex toys.

Clear evidence the moon landing was faked.

I look at the engineering of that stuff and it amazes me that they even got off the ground.  That had to be some brave/crazy group of men.

I see that you, too, made the mistake of reading the comments section.

If americans had actually landed on the moon, then Neil Armstrong would have just dumped his moon garbage on the lunar surface instead of carrying it home with him.

why is it that when the astronauts do repairs on the outside of the international space station,,they have a rope tired around them to keep them from floating away.,,but when they walked around on the moon,they did not have a rope attached to them,,makes one wonder huh?

I...uhh... 

[HaemishM]

The answer would be that the moon has gravity, dipshit. 

[Malakili]

I'm guessing these are the sorts of people who don't understand how gravity works and just think of earth as the place where we stick to the ground and SPACE (which to them includes everything in space but earth) as not having gravity.

[Chimpy]

NewsFlash: People in general are stupider than you could possibly think is possible.

[Goumindong]

Well we're going to need is a massive rock-et.

Why?

When people ask us how we got to the moon we're going to have to say "We got there on that massive rock-et you saw"

[...]

Why don't we, say, pop over to the moon and fake the footage there?

Fake the footage of the fake moon landing on the moon? What will we do if people find out?

Well that is just a risk we're going to have to take.

[Pennilenko]

I don't understand the moon landing skeptics. Can't we see evidence of the moon landings via terrestrial and space based telescopes?

[Trippy]

You can't see any of the man made objects that are supposedly on the moon through an optical telescope. And the laser reflector evidence can be faked since you can't see the reflections directly and must rely on special instruments to detect the returning light.

[Pennilenko]

I guess I will have to go on trusting the thousands of people and astronauts that worked on those missions.

[Samwise]

The Wikipedia article on third-party evidence for the Apollo missions is amazing if you read it from the perspective of somebody who devoutly believes that it's all fake.  The list of conspirators includes not only every major world power (a number of whom would love to discredit us and would have loved to even more during the Cold War) but the grade school children who used terrestrial equipment to track the later Apollo missions as they were en route.

[Ironwood]

Once again, I find it distressing that I sparked this level of discussion with yet another flip one liner.

[Typhon]

It's your super power.  You thought it was being irascible, but that is just a trait of your people, sort of like blue skrulls.  Not a terrible super power, but we can understand if you are a little disappointed.

The talk page attached to that link is awesome.

Everyone kneels before you. Isn't that what you asked for?

[calapine]

For personal reasons which cannot be disclosed by Retro Renovation, the owner nor anyone else ever moved in and the home was left uninhabited for over half a century.

That doesn't sound ominous at all.

Get...out...

That is what happens when you build near a nuclear test site. Shame they took the mannequins‎.
