Here's a fun experiment you can do at home. First, add up the numbers from the initials JFK. So J + F + K. Next, stick your thumb in your butthole. Fun times for everyone.

There is a cracker of a joke latched onto the end of that report. SR71 pilots have some brilliant stories - I think it's the combination of suicidally powerful technology and so-relaxed-they're-horizontal attitude needed for someone to get in the things. quote:Two weeks after the accident, I was back in an SR-71, flying the first sortie on a brand-new bird at Lockheed's Palmdale, Calif., assembly and test facility. It was my first flight since the accident, so a flight test engineer in the back seat was probably a little apprehensive about my state of mind and confidence. As we roared down the runway and lifted off, I heard an anxious voice over the intercom. "Bill! Bill! Are you there?" Also when Weaver casually refers to "the accident" he means the plane disintegrating around him at Mach 3 and 78,000ft. He survived because his ejection seat was thrown out of the wreckage, rather than manually ejected, and his pressurised space suit meant he didn't instantly break every bone under the sudden deceleration. Then he got back in the cockpit to do it all again two weeks later... darkwasthenight has a new favorite as of 17:52 on Nov 17, 2021 |

The big sport conspiracy theory I believe is that Benetton were actually using traction control in the 1994 F1 season. Also, the theory that Neymar is loving his sister.

Speaking of, there's a great documentary series on Netflix called Bad Sport, about these sports related crimes and conspiracy. Points shaving, fixing matches, bribing officials, etc. Very good, and it's fun to get that true crime intrigue and conspiracy stuff without people being murdered. Notable exception, one episode is about a horse hitman hired by the owners of expensive show-jumping horses to collect insurance money.

I have a theory we will see a large sports betting scandal within the next decade of a new type. It's very easy now to do in-game prop bets and this opens up a ton of avenues for player fixing that is not easily detectable. Imagine I have a friend in the NBA. I can very easily go to Vegas (or other options with internet betting) and put down $50k for my friend to miss a free throw. All I have to do is tell him to miss his first free throw, whenever that is, in the game. Whenever he gets fouled I quickly place a bet that the first one will miss. A single player or ref throwing an entire game is a lot harder to make happen. Also harder to convince them to outright throw a game. Convincing them to miss a single point is much much easier. The same concept applies to other sports. There is no way this isn't happening right now. It's too easy. Especially in college sports where the players aren't making money.

There's a podcast called Crime in Sports which is pretty funny and basically what it says on the tin. Two dudes go over athletes getting involved in crimes of all sorts.

It's already a thing outside of America; cricket has betting scandals every few years like that, for example. The funniest example is when Matt Le Tissier once bet on a football match having a throw-in within the first two or three minutes and his teammates kept stopping the ball from going out of play.

I would much rather tell my friend to successfully sink his free throw and bet on that happening, instead. He's in the NBA, he can make a free throw. He feels good about himself for making the free throw, I feel good for having faith in my friend's abilities, we both make money. I understand the point you're making, but if we're going to fix a bet, let's make it a positive thing. e: codo27 posted:Its always a god damned loving anime avatar
