February 14, 201115 yr And any story which ends with True Story is a myth, apparently this is one of the biggest hoaxes on the internet today. But would be funny if it really happened There's no apparently - it's a Jewish joke, or started out as one! The original is slightly more raunchy, and dates from a circa 1995 comedy/humour newsgroup posting. Like many internet phenomena it does the rounds over and over again, often at intervals of several years.You can check what Armstrong/Aldrin etc. actually said here: http://www.hq.nasa.g...1/a11.step.html and you'll note that NASA has updated the page to say "...let me state that Neil never said "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" at any time during the mission. Indeed, on November 28, 1995, Neil wrote for the ALSJ, "I understand that the joke is a year old. I first heard it in California delivered by (comedian) Buddy Hackett".What is amusing is the speech Richard Nixon was to deliver in circumstances of them not returning, particularly as all three Astronauts are still around and Nixon has been dead for 17 years: http://beconfused.co...ed-on-the-moon/
February 15, 201115 yr Merlin, seen as we are going back in time a bit with Neal Armstrong and the moon landing can you update me with a more recent happening? The Bedlington Beast, has there been anymore sightings? Pete no more sightings, though not really been the golf weather. I had a wander up to the course when the snow was down, but just the usual tracks, bunnies, deer, fox etc but no beastie tracks. Any way glad to see you out of hibernation, bit early though ain't it Pete :dribble:
