Al and I were demonstrating the new rail gun we sold to the military. Some General said "I wonder what would happen if you shot it into the sun?" I said, "What are you, an overgrown eight year old? Nothing would happen, it's the Sun."

He then spouted off, "Oh yeah? I dare you to shoot it into the sun!" I told him to sit down and pipe down. Then he threw out a double dog dare and Al turned red. I said, "Scrambled eggs, you don't know who and what your playing with." Damned if he didn't throw out the dreaded triple dog dare.

Al went off. I can't repeat all of what Fansome said here due to the woman and children that read these forums, but it ended with "Cap'n Ron, aim the gun at the Sun and prepare to fire." The Al roared out "Fire!" The gun went off with such force it temporarily sank Wallops Island due to the recoil. We immediately got a report from NASA observers that the sun looked like a glazed donut.

Now, I don't want anyone to worry, the Sun is nothing but a ball of flaming gas. It will be fine in a few days. The real moral of this story is, never mess with the gang from FANCO.

But I thought that's how you described Al Fansome ?

Let's look at the facts;

1)  Science has shown that the stars in the sky are moving away from the earth. And at some time in the future there will be no stars to be seen.

2)  There is a 300 to 600 foot 'ball-o-crap' in orbit around the earth and it has been unseen by the afore mentioned scientist for about 100 years.  So much for those guys...  100 years and they never saw it???  Yeah right!

3) Now the Sun has a monster hole in it...!?!?

1a) Why are the stars moving away from us?  Mostly because we ruined the neighborhood I am sure.

2a)  Is that the same 'ball-o-crap' that killed off the dyno thingies a few million years ago... The scientist tell us to move along nothing to see here but Guess who the latest dynos are?

3a)  Hole in the Sun,  perhaps that yellow blob in the sky is having an energy crisis and is about to go Nova and I don't mean a guest shot on that old TV show.

Welcome to my world... heh heh heh heh

Black hole sun? I blame Soundgarden for summoning it! Or are they the true prophets?

Interesting similarity between now and the late 1700s early 1800s solar cycle;

Now we just need another huge volcanic eruption or global thermonuclear war;
