[QUOTE="Thomas More, post: 145010, member: 8402"] I've known several guys over the years that would tell outlandish lies. Used to be in the air force reserves as a test pilot, while also working the same crappy job as me at age 21, used to race corvettes and beat them with their 80's four cylinder compact pickup, that kind of thing. I saw it in school growing up, then in the workplace over the years. It stands to reason these guys would gravitate towards internet forums now. NASA Test Pilot was obviously of this type. I suppose its the same kind of thing as the old tradition of telling tall tales like Paul Bunyan, or saying the fish you caught was bigger than it really was, or saying you fucked a hottie when in reality you only fingered a fattie. At some point you recognize the pattern, then you believe anything they say, as long as its independently verified by a reliable source. [/QUOTE]
