I thought that it was a fag.
Sorry to inform but this was already linked on the front page.
Running sub 5 minute miles for 26 miles in that air when your career depends on amazing amazing lungs does sound like a pretty bad idea…
Wrong country.
I knew a guy who predicted St Louis Cardinals would sweep the very very heavily favored Oakland A’s in the 1990 World Series.That, my friend is ‘calling it’. :)But yeah, you called this one.
Does he use a Boflex?
edit: Suck it Hu
I want random people in the internet to know that I fucking called it: http://reddit.com/info/60evs/comments/c02gbh3Even though I would be disqualified for claiming the calling of it as it was a nonspecific statement.
Damn, I wish that dude was my grandpa.
The Zimmers haha best band name ever
lol you really think if they thought of it, and it would have furthered their agenda/cause they wouldn’t do that? The thing is, people do all sorts of things like that, because it’s bigger than an individual, and most people are dead long before they are ever held accountable. Even the History channel is now saying that we let Pearl harbor happen to get in the war, and sway public support.
