It fits!


Edit: for clarity it's not mine. I have a POS Boxster that I want to do this with. With any luck, this guy will solve all the problems while engineering his kit.

Good time of the year to ask these questions. Another question to ask--after Jesus died, a lot of the apostles were tortured and/or killed because they wouldn't denounce him (Him?). If it was all an elaborate prank you'd think that those fishermen would just go back to fishing, or at least say "Nah, didn't happen."

If I'm interpreting you correctly, you're questioning whether people could be sufficiently charmed / brainwashed by a charismatic person, who is not in fact god, to follow them into the grave.

Touche'. Interesting, sad comparisons. BTW, did you know that Jim Jones sent Harvey Milk a letter of recommendation? I told my two teenage boys about how a new Navy ship had been commissioned; the USNS Harvey Milk. I told them the Harvey was full of seamen. Teenagers thought it was funny...

Definitely need to be alert for rocks with periscopes driving around in sensitive areas...




This was another actual thing. Operation Acoustic Kitty.

By one account, after spending nearly $20 million in development, the CIA released the first active kitty near the Soviet compound on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, D.C. where it was immediately hit by a car.

By another account, the project was abandoned after the CIA learned that it was difficult to train cats to follow human instructions. This latter report is supported by the following document: https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB54/st27.pdf
