Nothing at all...just news. The mods usually wish away 'em to the cornfield when they're ready.

I can start a new "Tramp Stamp" thread if you're bored?

Local news here in Denver has said that the boy was found at home and was never on the balloon. He was hiding in a box up in their attic the whole time. The search and rescue parties were already dispatched and combing the 50+ mile path the balloon took. Wow, what a mess.

[airnutz]

Cool..they found the boy! He's at home.

New news film will probably show the daddy spanking the kid, with police and rescuers lining up for their turn !
