Er, no. Americans say "aluminum" with four syllables. The English say "aluminium" with five.

And I don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce "school" without a 'k' sound in it.

Spaeking of speaking strangely, anyone heard Korn's new cover of Another Brick In The Wall Pt. II?

The singer's distorted voice sounds so much like a Dalek, I nearly ran off the expressway laughing.
The image of a Supreme Dalek singing "We dont need no education...' was too funny.

I have never heard anyone say "shool". Or "up yer shaft", for that matter. "stick it up your penis"? Strange.

Being 3 at the time, it obviously deeply affected me and helped create the Star Trek loving dude you see today.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I meant, is it still discussed (as our neverending "Roswell conspiracy" is.

Well that's spectacular.

Halt: OK, we're looking at the thing, we're probably about 2 to 300 yards away, it looks like an eye winking at you. It's still moving from side to side, and when you put the star scope on it, it sort of has a hollow center, a dark center. It's, you know, like the pupil of an eye looking at you, winking. And the flash is so bright to the starscope that, it almost burns your eye.
Mecha-Sauron?

Sounds like it was taking scans, photos of the humans and the base. It was probably an UAV probe sent down from those 3 recon vessels in the sky, would be stupid otherwise to put your eggs in one basket.

what was the bit with the "woman screaming"? And if one of the two superpowers at the time took over a military base in another country, then - a scan of the place makes sense to see what is going on.

I remember watching something about that on the History Channel. The US soldiers they interviewed seemed damn serious about the whole thing.

The thing is some of these people aren't out to try and make money of the thing so why would they risk their reputations etc. on lying about such things. I mean being in a doco on the History Channel or Discovery Channel isn't really trying to gain some sort of fame. They just go on to tell their story.

People WILL do anything to get on TV, any TV. 'Reality' Programming is a perfect demonstration of this fact.

Not by anyone I know. Possibly nerds, somewhere, but none of my mates (and before you point out that we are a bit young, all of them know about Roswell.)

Actually, I was not going to point out your age: I was wondering if the mass media over there was dragging the story into the ground.

Aparantly not.

Of course, age has noting to do with it anyway: most "UFOlogists" were not even alive at the time of the Roswell incident.

If haven't seen any report on UFO sightings on the news or in a newspaper in years.
Perhaps the aliens have finally lost interest in our miserable little planet...
