    If they test flew the 22 around Area 51, you can almost understand how people believe in UFO's. That sucker does things that don't seem possible.

    Something very fishy is going on. I just saw a woman driving a crimson colored SUV with a front license plate that said Roll Tide. Her real back plate was a Louisiana plate that said LSUCIA

    So when is the Coast Guard gonna call the search for the two teenagers lost at sea? Seems strange to me it has persisted so long. Very sorry situation. Joe Namath is involved, too!

    It seems very strange. 3 days in the ocean without water and you're done. Got to be mostly a body search now.

    That is not exactly correct. The rule of three's is actually more of a guide. You should check out this movie - a true story - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2557276/

    Yep, survival on a raft for amazingly long period is possible because rainwater and fish can be caught. That's impossible floating in a life jacket. And these guys may not have even been wearing their jackets. Less than a third of the USS Indianapolis survivors survived for 4 days at sea and they were dying fast. Individual floaters didn't make it, only large groups of floaters lashed together survived but they were in very bad shape.
