Anyone know Buddha Bear's whereabout at the time?”

“Top floor of the Eiffel Tower?”

“I thought the dang thing was made out of metal...”

“It has levels that you can get out and look around at.”

“Yah, but I bet there's still plenty of combustibles on the thing. Plus, if you get iron or steel hot enough, they will burn. Someone could have set off a thermite bomb. That would do the trick.”

“uumm FYI buddha, if your going to start a fire...start on the ground floor not on the top floor......”

“firs started on top floor...i swear there is a polish joke there somewhere.

(im just teasing relax folks!!!)”

“Top floor has lots of combustables. If I remember right, there's also a gift shop at the bottom.”

“Big news day in the making:

1) There's the Eiffel Tower fire, then...

2) "smoldering bodies" removed from a house in northern Iraq after a firefight are believed to be those of Uday & Qusay, and...

3) The Jessica Lynch Homecoming Special is starting on CNN.


Take your pick.”

“4. More and more women are wearing flip-flops to work.”

“They all suck.”

“Poor Jessica!

That sucker(Eiffel Tower) must have quite a bit of paint on it.”

“http://www.lci.fr/news/

Doesn't look too dramatic.”

“butter fire in the kitchen?”

“Some Tower Trivia....

The Great Pyramid at Giza was the tallest manmade structure on earth for over 4,000 years until the Eiffel Tower was built in 1889. It held that distinction for only 40 years until the Chrysler Building was completed in 1930.

The Chrysler Building was 'topped' by the Empire State Building four months later....”

“Thanks Cliffy.”

“I bet the French blame us for this.”

“The question is, who did they blame/surrendur to?

Maybe they could try putting the darn thing out with all the water that they never use to shower with.”

“Maybe they threw perfume on it and had a flare-up.”

“I'd break out the smore's”

“No, that wasn't clumsy at all...”

“it's an ugly stinking piece of garbage anyway..let it burn”

“Anyone notice all of the broadcast antennae and such on that tower pic?”

“Yea, nice close up picture.”

“a model airplane probably flew into it...paris just wants some attention”

“ROFLMAO Twinkle!”

“That's too bad. Those French are some swell folks who don't deserve this type of trouble. I hope no French people were harmed.”

“Well, it is the first recorded instance of a frenchman putting himself in harm's way.”

“The funny thing about that tower is that it was built for the World's Fair and then it was scheduled to be torn down. The French thought it was stupid.”

“What saved it? Did the Germans invade or something?”

“and eating snails and not bathing is not stupid?”

“Buncha scumbag bigots! Leave the French alone! They are good folk and don't stink! They are actually very good at warfare.”

“Ha Ha! I think a movement statted to keep the structure.

Speaking of Paris, here is another stupid fact about a useless country.

The world's first automobile road race took place on this day in 1894. During the 78-mile race from Paris to Rouen, one contestant, Count Jules de Dion, made news by breaking the record speed of 13.6 mph.”

“I had a Ford Fiesta that was like that...turn the radio up and the engine bogged down.”

“Do we need to change your name to "Bitch Toes"?”

“excuse me? that sort came out of left field....what's up tilt?”

“You people need to get a clue.”

“I'm sorry - are you French?

Excusez-moi”

“Thread killer! ;)”

“But I didn't do anything this time!

lol”

“yeah thats what the french said also...



:)”

“"hahahahaha"

"no no class en francsie" (sp?)

"hauhauhauhau"”

“I'm just going to rent the movie!”

“Bon soir my little cabages....”

“From the IMDb's Trivia page on that movie:

A French postman felt off his bicycle on the Champs Elysées, when he saw some extras dressed as German soldiers crossing the avenue during a lunch pause. He ran out screaming, "They're back! They're back!"”

“I'm surprised he didn't turn around, drop his pants, and bend over...”
