Quote:I'm sure the designers did a fine job, especially for such important buildings, and apparently so do the folks who run that site. They feel the skyscrapers would still be standing today, albiet undergoing repairs, if something "extra" hadn't taken place that so completely pulverized the buildings. They claim that the damage caused by the planes and the fire caused by the jet fuel wasn't enough to cause such a quick and total collapse.
Who knows? I thought it was interesting enough to share, regardless.

Quote:Full circle, then: The outrage about the nondisclosures in the Downing Street memos has led Congressman Walter Jones of North Carolina to demand that we tell the al-Qaida forces in Iraq exactly when we intend to give up. Jones is the right-wing bigmouth who once wanted to rename French fries "freedom fries." He was a moral and political cretin when he did that and, not to my surprise, he has been unable to stop being a moral and political cretin since. He and his new friends are welcome to each other. They illustrate exactly how the credulous search for Da Vinci codes is the sign of feeble minds.
