Blog for a Cure

All the ad revenue generated from this blog and several others will go to the Chordoma Foundation which is a non-profit organization that goes towards research and treatment of this rare bone cancer. Funding is needed because governments tend to pass over such rare diseases when distributing funding. If you would like to learn more, please visit www.chordomafoundation.org

Due to the support for this blog, we have now raised $62ish, all of which will go towards the Chordoma Foundation. Thank you.

Every story has two sides

By now, you have all heard of the dramatic landing by a commercial airliner on the Hudson river in New York. Apparently, the engine exploded after hitting a flock of geese. Everyone is praising the pilot, Sully Sullenberger, for his quick action and heroism. He probably deserves it, but there are some scenarios I can think of that if made public could ruin his reputation:

1) After taking off from the airport, Sully turns to his copilot and says,"Bet you a hundred bucks I could hit that flock of geese over there."

2) After taking off from the airport, Sully turns to his copilot and says,"I've heard you guys talking about me in the lunch room. Oh, don't act like you don't known what I'm talking about. You guys think Sully is a girls name. I'll show you how much of a man I am."

3) After taking off from the airport, Sully turns to his copilot and says,"Man, I just turned 50 years old and everybody forgot my birthday. What does a guy have to do around here to get some attention.
