Watch out air force, the green men are in the Ohakea airspace. www.newstalkzb.co.nz/newsdetail1.asp?storyID=100948Mysterious lights over Manawatu 4/08/2006 14:44:02 Mystery surrounds a number of strange sightings in the Manawatu skies last night. Several people have contacted Newstalk ZB claiming to have spotted a UFO after seeing lights darting around at speed. One informant lives in Feilding and says he saw lights doing strange manoeuvres which seemed to violate the law of physics. Police are at a loss to explain what the lights may have been. The Wellington Observatory says while a possible explanation could be a bright star low on the horizon, that does not account for the strange movements the lights were making. Staff at Palmerston North's control tower offered the strongest explanation saying a couple of air force planes were flying around the area before 8 PM. |

First Officer to Captain, pointing excitedly: UFO, UFO!
Captain (speaking in deep American Indian voice): No. Me Captain, you f/o.

UFO over Notre Dame
Ok, Quasimodo the bellringer is dead after falling from the tower of Notre Dame, and his death presents a real problem to the Bishop; a replacement bellringer.
So he puts the word out that he's looking for someone, and a number of candidates apply and are rejected for various reasons, until, at the very end, a man with no arms presents himself and applies for the job.
The Bishop has had a long day, and is a bit tired and deperate, and leans back in his chair and surveys the poor armless guy standing in front of him.
"Have you read the Job Description for this appointement?" he asks.
Yes sir " says the armless applicant.
" Then pray tell me " says the Bishop, "how you can carry it out with no arms?"
"Please Sir, give me a trial run, I know I can do it".
Taking pity on him , the Bishop wearily gets out of chair. "Follow me" he says, and leads the way to the 569 steps up the bell tower. They reach the top and the Bishhop indicates the bell and says "Show me".
With that, the armless man runs full tilt at the bell, and gives it a huge whack with his head. There is a resounding "doooooonnnngggg" of a note never heard before and the Bishop's jaw drops in amazement. "Do that again" he says, and with that, the armless man takes another full tilt run at the bell, trips, and disappears over the side of the tower and falls to the street below.
Horrified, the Bishop hurtles down the stairs and bursts out onto the street where the poor armless one lies dead, surrounded by a small crowd.
" Does anyone know this man?" he cries.
One of the spectators turns to him and says, "Well, I wouldn't say I know him, but his face rings a bell".
Yeah, alright, I'll get my coat...................
