I done a stupid

So I was watching a thing on Netflix and they showed the New York skyline.  And it got me wondering if 9/11 made a load of people who worked in the Twin Towers feel scared about going to work there afterwards. Yeah, afterwards. So that was definitely me doing a stupid. Starting this thread might be a stupid too but there's only one way to find out.

Pink Gregory

what if all along it was only one tower and an enormous mirror

Underturd

Are you saying that David Blaine was involved?

Pink Gregory

maybe...two david blaines

Underturd

Three if you count the Pentagon!

If it makes you feel any better when I first heard about the 9/11 memorial and how it was going to be directly on the "footprint" of the towers I thought it meant it was going to be as deep as their height and I thought "blimey that'll be pretty dangerous, and probably a right suicide hotspot as well." Then I realised I was being very silly.

When satellite tv was first a thing and there was some article about BSB having its own news channel or whatever, me and my best mate both wondered aloud at the same time how they got the presenters up into the satellites, then a fraction of a second later tried to pretend neither of us were being serious, but it was too late. We weren't even drunk.

These are the kind of things I'm talking about :-)

And a David Copperfield prancing about by WTC 7.

Cobb yet again mentions he thought goats were male sheep up until he was about 28.

Reports are coming in that a plane has struck a second stupid person

I thought that reindeer were fictional creatures until I was about 14.

I never transformed Optius Prime into his transformer form.  I just thought mum bought me a lorry.

As a teenager, a flaw in my logic led to me believing the sexual term "spitroast" involved someone receiving a penis in each ear.

Love this.

Elderly Sumo Prophecy

I done a stupid once. She was pretty though.

thinking on from that awful day after the anniversary yesterday, one thought has come to mind.

What happened to the planes and those onboard, once they were flown into the twin towers? I know this probably does sound silly and I'm so sorry if it comes across as ignorant, but I truly do not know, and the internet doesn't mention anything, either..

Did they come to a crash landing afterwards? Or did they continue flying? What actually happened to the plane and those poor souls on board?

One for the ages

My favourite thing is the idea of the plane just carrying on intact and the passengers being like "what the FUCK was THAT"

Chollis

I didn't know why some eggs just had a nice tasty yolk and some had chicks in them until well into my teens

There's no proof that it was planes

Maybe the towers just toppled over

I once asked someone where the film/musical Chicago was set.

Mr Trumpet

I once confidently misidentified a stone sarcophagus in a museum as "an ancient Egyptian boat"

non capisco

Once phoned up directory enquiries and they went "Name?" and I said "Ross."

Maybe more naivety but in a CDT class at school when they had all old bits of newspaper to cover the tables I glimpsed a fragment off presumably some tabloid problem page that said "PREMATURE EJACULATION IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM" and I misunderstood what that meant and spent about a year worrying that I'd embarked on my wanking career at too young an age and that this was going to manifest itself in some kind of unknown but terrible biological complication. I finally put two and two together thanks to a joke on Only Fools and Horses at Boycie's expense.

They should have felt scared about going to work there afterwards. A lot of them died due to asbestos dust.

Absolutely love this. Not even a hijacking, just a pissed up pilot passing it off as severe turbulence.

Waving at all the confused office folk now perched on the wing. Guy behind his desk chatting away on the phone taking a good ten seconds to notice he's wedged in the flappy bits.
