News Flash: Kathy not AS embarrassed over her lack of swimming ability, but still pretty embarrassed

Apparently there was a big whoopsy in the story about Jennifer Figge being the first woman to swim the Atlantic, in that she, um, didn’t.  Well, not really anyway.  At least not in the way that the rest of the world was thinking she did.

News reports said that she swam over 2,000 miles, but that was wrong.  She TRAVELED that much, but she didn’t swim that much.  She actually swam about 250 miles.  The rest of the distance was covered by boat.  What happened was that she would go in the water and swim for part of the day, and then get back in the boat.  Except the boat couldn’t just stop in the middle of the ocean…it had to keep moving along.

Ah well.  On the upside, this means that this particular “first” is still up for grabs, for whichever woman is willing to undertake the challenge.  You hear that G?  Forget the Pacific!  Go for the Atlantic you crazy Canadian!

The article.  And another.

Thanks to t and Alyssa!  The dynamic duo who saved me from drowning in deep embarrassment.

G, if you need more alien heads to threaten people with, talk to Chris. She’s just pretending to be all innocent, but we all know the truth about Roswell, don’t we? (Psst! What’s Roswell?)

So that’s where Chris disappears to. Here I thought she was dealing crack, but it’s alien heads! The Black Market will take anything.

Yay for crazy! Shun the normies :P

I got no clue what you are talking about *looks around* I know you like us normies G , at least a few of us ;P

Kathy….is everything you know about aliens comes from movies aka E.T? :P
Many years ago, someone found a trail of debris. The debris, being examined, was found to have unusual properties to it. It was thought that it was an UFO that crashed there……there were just too many things that didn’t add up. Ever heard of Area 51? It’s supposedly the place where autopsies were performed on the dead aliens from the crash…..The government had said it was nothing more but a weather balloon. They even did this project blue book to silence them. We can’t have people being afraid of forces that they can’t really defend themselves against now can we? ;) However, there are those who believe to this day that it was really an UFO that crashed there and the government is involved in this big conspiracy to cover it up. …..I suggest you look more into it. There is just so much fascinating stuff to read :D
