10. In a law class, we read about the Harrier on the Pepsi commericial
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 07:20 PM by sph812
where the kid collected 15 points and submitted a $700,000 check for the other points to redeem a Harrier jet as seen on the TV commercial. The court dismissed the suit stating that reasonable people would have deduced that Pepsi was not really offering a jet, especially since it did not appear on the official "Pepsi Stuff" order form and that one such jet costs around $23 million.

Does anyone remember the commercial?

6. High Flight
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 07:05 PM by achtung_circus
High Flight

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
