Anybody want to waste some time online?

I just watched a segment on Through the Decades about D. B. Cooper. As Bill Kurtis says, it's one of America's favorite mysteries.

(Also a treat: Watching archival footage of Bill Kurtis himself originally reporting the story.)

D.B. Cooper is one of those great fascinating stories that I don't think anyone is ever going to really ever solve with anything close to 100% certainty. In that sense he's right up there with the Mary Celeste and Jack the Ripper. I'll have to watch that segment.

Personally I think he became what skydivers call "High Speed Dirt" as soon as he left the plane but what do I know? Maybe he didn't go bump in the night after all. :-)

What do you think?

*edited to add that absolutely atrocious pun.*

*groans* Yeah, I can see why you didn't resist adding that
