July 20, 1969 ... a day of illusions?

Thu Jul 20, 2006 2:54 pm

The following is a raw trancription from a recent speech by a famous person:

"Ladies and gentlemen, on July 20, 1969, the human race accomplished its single greatest technological achievement of all time when a human first set foot on another celestial body . . . hmmm, I don't know about that.

'Whoa ... whoa! Work with me for a second, here, folks. As a highly trained expert practitioner in visual analysis, observation and rendering, I have long suspected that the NASA "Moon" photos were fakes."

[Background noise: low rumble. Words containing "Bull" and a word beginning in "S" echoed repeatedly]

"Recently, I submitted a collection of representative so-called "Moooon" photos to a committee of 16 "wise men", who provided expert analysis and commentary on the photographs I submitted to them.

'The wise guys, uh (cough) wise men provided me with the following visual aid - notice nothing escaped their keen eyes:"

Yes they were brilliant weren't they ! :P
A classic U.K. 'KIDS' program that was also exported worldwide.

So maybe it was shown in the USA & that's where the confusion has come from.

Easily gullible the Yanks, remember another great UK export , the ' War of the Worlds' , that had them fooled as well :wink:
