The Danger of Pretending to be an Expert
Is illuminated marvelously on this thread on a professional pilot's forum. A poster named Anatomist demonstrates his cut and paste skills, claiming that 757s and 767s (which he hilariously refers to as "commuter aircraft" can takeoff and land via remote control, and about a dozen other things. By the time the pilots get through with him, all that's left is a skeleton.

That is pretty funny.
Eight of the hijackers who were on those planes called up complaining that they were still alive. I'd bet you never heard about our foreign minister flying to Morocco and issuing an official apology to the accused, did you?
I thought it was only 5, 6, or 7? By the way, since when did the United States have a foreign minister?
My official title: MOS33Q10, Electronic Warfare Intercept Strategic Signal Processing/Storage Systems Specialist, a highly skilled MOS which requires advanced knowledge of many communications methods and circuits to the most minute level.
I have a friend who was a 33 series before he turned warrant. This job doesn't involve "advanced knowledge" of circuitry. It is essentially a computer repair job, you reformat harddrives and such. The 10 at the end, by the way, designates the lowest level, meaning he never got above the rank of specialist (E-4)
Markyx, I was in a rush to get that one posted before leaving for the office. I've added the hat tip (before I checked the comments, I might add).
Like hey, man, I mean, why would you need to be an expert, if you have common sense?
I mean when things are obvious, anyone can be an expert.
Hey - hat tips - anybody want to buy a Loose Change Final Cut Hat?
