[QUOTE]Eighteen people conceived through the clinic between 1943 and 1962 were tested, with about two-thirds of them matching Wiesner's DNA. However, it's nearly impossible to determine exactly how many of the 1,500 children came directly from Wiesner, since his wife Mary Barton reportedly destroyed the records from the clinic. Wiesner himself died in the early 1970s.[/QUOTE]

I ran across a guy talking about this today, turns out he works in the medical field. So I asked, "If they closed the McDonalds in Mercy, wouldn't people just leave the hospital and find one close by?" "There is a cafeteria, you know." "Really, does the cafeteria serve hamburgers and fries?" "Well, yes, but it's healthier than if you ate at McDonalds."

[QUOTE=xilman;296261]It must have been pretty loud for it to have been heard over such a wide area.[/QUOTE]It is not just one single "boom". It is continuously emitted while flying over Mach 1. Which is why we don't see any commercial aircraft these days that go above Mach 1. Even the Concord was only permitted to go above Mach 1 over the sea, too many people complained about the noise.

[QUOTE=xilman;296261]It must have been pretty loud for it to have been heard over such a wide area.[/QUOTE]I am pleased to have experienced the double boom of the STS several times (including the first).

There were reports that near Mildenhall (the base that USAF flew SR-71's out of in the UK), there were sounds that were unexplained. Speculation ran toward the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(aircraft)"]Aurora[/URL].

The department has received hundreds of emails with comments such as, "Get that officer off the street," and "Do police no longer have a protocol for escalating to deadly force?" Another email says, "Shoot a man's dog here in Texas and you'll have a storm at your door." "I'm just overwhelmed at the responses we've gotten," said Cisco's owner Michael Paxton.[/QUOTE]as some of the comments say it should be the person who gave the wrong address who needs to apologise
