Looking for the Closure series? Scroll below this post for episode 6, where Chuck speaks in tongue. You can also find the Closure series by clicking using the SafeTselector above.
In the meantime, I bring you a selection from the 27Anonymous archive. Really, the only funny thing he said that wasn’t profane.
Timothy Leary was an aviation scientist who was responsible for some of the U.S. “X” plane projects throughout much of the formative pre-moonshot American air culture. This was before the founding of the aerial city of “Lofticretia” where most of the NASA engineers summer and house their precious super-children.
As such, he designed craft that were intended to achieve greater and greater heights while still maintaining a normally aspirated engine configuration.
Scram, ram, nautilus and pogo engines all owe their existance to him.
He personally flew each and every test flight for his planes. Ultimately, no one got higher than Timothy Leary. He was high all the time.
His untimely death, due to abrupt and catastrophic decompression when his canopy ruptured unexpectedly (well, if it were expected, would the fellow be flying at all?) caused his brains to bleed out of his nose and ears. In truth, he had indeed expanded his mind.
I’ve looked him up in Tobyn’s Jet Propulsion Guide. Not a mention.
Due to the intense embarassment the aeronautical establishment feels whenever his best selling book is brought up in conversation, his contributions have been painstakingly and thoroughly expunged from the public record.
heh..
Sarah:I know, its a bit of a groaner. But keep in mind it was Anonymous27.
This was originally posted as a comment on Gorilla Bananas blog, but since he never actually visits SafeTinspector.blogspot.com, he’ll never know. (unless one of you tell him)
Didn’t he invent the Leary Jet?
(Sorry.)
