Fish Stories More Risky Via Email

Here's a fun story to end the week with.
Guy sends an email to friends and family recounting his single-handedly thwarting a potential terrorist plane hijacking at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport by man-handling a group of Arabs in "full attire" and tossing them from the plane.
The email goes viral on the right-wing interwebs, even ending up on Glenn Beck's Project 9/12 website.Turns out
the incident was actually a misunderstanding that happened when a Spanish-speaking passenger didn't understand a flight attendant's instructions to turn off his cell phone. And even better,
the "hero" who wrote the email wasn't even in Atlanta when the events happened. He was supposed to be, but missed his connecting flight. (The airline debunks the email in great detail here.)

I think my favorite part is the moment when
two of the Muslim terrorists, apparently getting ready to hijack the plane, "began to show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and were very loud about it." Now, I don't know terrorist best practices. But it seems like an odd time to bust out some porn. Petruna explains the significance of this odd behavior:
Now....they are only permitted to do this prior to Jihad. If a Muslim man goes into a strip club, he has to view the woman via mirror with his back to her. (don't ask me....I don't make the rules, but I've studied) The 3rd stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time. To which one of the men said "shut up infidel dog!" She went to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic.
