Boy trapped in homemade balloon...

Never said I was arguing with anyone; however, a review of the last three pages should clue either of you two in the general directions of where my comment stems. If not, then that's not my problem.
Considering both cultcross and I, two relatively intelligent individuals, have no idea what you're talking about I'd say it is your problem if you want to be understood.
I never said he owes me anything nor did I say that it was TNZ. Are you singling me out because I post in TNZ? Seems that way to me.
Don't sell yourselves short.
Unfortunately for me this is a US only thing. If this were to happen in the UK neighbors would be complaining about the weird guy next door building something and a Judge would do something to stop the parents from naming their kid Falcon. What kind of a f name is that for a child?
The only thing crazy that could come close is the annual Break-your-bones-chasing-a-cheese-down-a-hill event
You don't find the possibility of a 6-year old boy trapped in a balloon thousands of feet in the air newsworthy?
I can't believe this is what passes for newsworthy these days.
I mean, I know it turned out to be a bunch of crap, but if it had been true I'd say it's worth news coverage.
Stories of trapped people make great news. Look at the story of the two Tasmanian miners that were trapped hundreds of feet below the surface in the Beaconsfield mine. That story went world wide and lasted for days.
Stories of trapped children are even more newsworthy.

I'm quite sure the UK has weird backyard inventors and wannabe scientists who conduct bizarre experiments and launch balloons, and that there are plenty of kids and adults with strange names. Besides, I'm not sure claiming to live in a country that outlaws or strongly discourages such things is really a positive thing. Nothing wrong with indulging a little weirdness sometimes. It adds flavor.
And this one went from potential tragedy to media hoax in less than a day. I mean, that's pretty impressive.
The name is fine. Just because it's not to your liking doesn't mean it's something that should be illegal.
I used to know a man called Rook, which I think it a worse name than Falcon.
It also allows for the existence of TrekBBS.Don't sell yourselves short.

Baby Jessica laughs at this kid.
I was surprise to learn that Baby Jessica is now 23 years old. When she turns 25 she will receive over $1,000,000 that has been held in trust for her after wellwishers sent her donations after her rescue.
They're either really good liars, or they're completely retarded.
Hiding in boxes isn't the way to get yourself positive media attention, this Australian baby shows the proper way to gain it.
