Fact of the day

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

Forget it.......that became irrelevant in this thread.
What you are dealing here with is the high art of classical thread highjacking ;) :D

Could be OP is recycling the Prathia Hall story, although Ms Hall defo does not appear to be white;

He was giving that speech for years (it wasn't new when he delivered it in Washington), and whilst there are allegations of plagiarism (never proven), there is certainly no little white old lady hiding out there somewhere.

The Airbus A380 aircraft fuselage is longer than the entire first flight of the Wright Brothers, and tip of the tail is higher than the maximum altitude achieved in that same flight.
