Linux, Avionics, and spins



Here are a couple of conspiracy theories &| hypnosis's of what -really-
happened.

1. The plane was actually very computerized, but it was running NT...

2. The plane hit a ufo...

3. The same people who killed his father heard a rumor that he was going
into politics and decided to off him before he got dangerous.  The device
became active when his plane went over 3000 feet.  When his plane dropped
below 2500 feet, it put the plane into a graveyard spiral, turned off the
controls, put the engine to full throttle and cut the radio, hence no cries
for help and it looks like pilot error.
-"Bob, the vet"

4. The baby sitter wasn't getting enough money since her free ticket skied
into a tree and decided to take'em out with a stinger.

5. The plane flew into a patch of antimatter and there was just enough to
destroy the propeller.

6. His sister-in-law fell asleep in the back and he became occupied doing
"other" things and forgot to fly the plane.

7. Two words: Broken Ankle

I must be confused... I thought this was a Linux mailing list. ;-D

Knew I should have spent more time learning procmail...
