******************** Breaking News! Crusifixion Commission to be Formed.  12 Apostles knew in Advance!! "Reuters, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and AP are reporting the Romans and Jewish leaders are not responsible for Christ's crucifixion. They claim the 12 apostles had advance warning about this in a dinner meeting they had with Jesus prior to the crucifixion. Calls are now being made for a formal comission to be formed to investigate the events leading up to that day to determine just who knew what and when they knew it!! The commission's star witness is said to be Judas who served with Jesus prior to the crucifixion." 10:20:47 PM

******************** Bob Kerrey in the NYT "I've been critical of these hearings as having been overly politicized, and focussed too much on the good of the respective parties involved, rather than of the Republic and this bit of gratuitous grandstanding validates all of those criticisms."  [Winds of Change.NET] 1:38:50 PM

******************** Breaking the sound barrier "One of my heroes is Chuck Yeager who was the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound. He accomplished this flying the Bell X-1 in October 1947 but, because of the Cold War, the US Air Force did not release the infomation for over eight months, so Yeager never received the world-wide fame that he deserved. A couple of weeks ago, an aircraft flew for the first time at seven times the speed of sound, although the X-43A was unpiloted. The event received a fair bit of publicity. I decided to use some of the Easter break to write up a short account of how we went from Mach 1 to Mach 7."  [NightHawk] Thanks Roger for putting it all in one place for us aviation geeks.  I flew back seat in TA-4's in the late 60's.  One day while killing time over the desert waiting for the AF boys we were to play with that day, I casually said to the pilot, "It's too bad this plane won't go supersonic.  Without saying a word the nose of the plane dropped to a 45 degree angle and I watched as the mach gage quickly climbed to 1.1.  After leveling the pilot said, "You mean like that?"  1:21:17 PM
