6 Year Old Stuck
« on: October 15, 2009, 02:13:11 PM »
Apparently a 6 year old Colorado boy has climbed into a homemade balloon aircraft and is floating North of Denver. 

Stay tuned.  Here's one article on it, CNN also has coverage.

How anybody could find it funny that a 6yr old could be dead is beyond me. Even if he is ok, their isnt anything funny about the whole situation.
Crap now I gotta redo my cool sig.....crap!!! I cant remeber how to do it all !!!!!

Not even close to funny; I remember being that age and doing some pretty stupid things now that I look back on them. It is a miracle I survived past age 10 due to some of the stuff I did.
