Plane turns around due to suspected bomb

[draco664]

If you're flying in a plane and someone thinks they've found a bomb, I'd say it's a good idea to land ASAP.

But seriously, a can of soda printed in a foreign language is now a suspected bomb?

Okay uhm Hot Tub Time Machine anyone? Seriously made me think of the scene with the Russian Energy Drink and the frat boy snow patrol.

[PepperElf]

Police yesterday said the word ‘‘bomb’’ was written on a piece of paper taped with masking tape to a drink can, prompting the pilot to turn around over Mount Gambier and return to Melbourne.

I suspect that was the reason why.

I know some will look at it and say "but that's so obviously fake". But part of me also considers that something that seems "so fake" could be part of a plan.

and there's one thing i've learned from security training - don't handle the suspected bomb yourself. we've lost enough sailors to dirty tricks already.

[Andara Bledin]

Well, yes, but what the police said was wrong.

There was nothing taped to the can ; they just couldn't read what the writing on the can itself said and thought it said bomb, which, if you consider it for a bit, is really rather silly.

^-.-^

It would be like someone evacuating a building in Russia because a visiting American left his can of Mello Yello on the table in the cafeteria while he ran to the bathroom.

Mello Yello

No such drink exists. Much like any Highlander or Matrix movies past the first.

Come now! The Quickening is a CLASSIC horrible movie! It surely exiasts, if only to be mocked incessantly, and eventually burned!

I dunno. I mean granted I always joke that Highlander 2 was so bad that the series itself pretends it never happened. But the other movies weren't so bad.

Well except for Highlander The Source. Even Highlander 2 has SOME saving grace - you can laugh at it, for example. But HTS... the only saving grace to that one in my opinion was that Methos was in it. (And even that one they fucked up)


but the other movies were ok.


and i didn't actually mind matrix 2 and 3. i liked the story arc... i just didn't like the fact that both were filmed together. it's hard for me to remember which one was which. they both seem kinda the same in my head

The 3rd is fairly enjoyable, since its basicly just the first rehashed. Endgame is....severely disappointing. Horribly bad at times.....such a waste.

Oh GODS the source. The source did everything it could to bend over and fuck with a sandpaper condom the Highlander series. Just. They fucked up the classic song, they destroyed the classic sword, and they destroyed the mystique of Highlander...Im glad that its Canonly only a dream.

I rather liked the other matrix movies as well

And yet in the very next paragraph in the report

But then today, a Victoria Police spokeswoman said the word was printed on the can itself and not handwritten

They changed the formula for Mello Yello. Coincidentally around the time they discontinued Surge guess what Mello Yello is reminiscent of?

Also Highlander 2 was re-cut check the renegade version they took out the BS alien angle.

[HYHYBT]

Unlike Mr Pibb, the old Mello Yello wasn't worth keeping anyway.

I just saw Mello Yello like a couple of months ago at my store. Then it died again. Funny.
