Doing cons require very good acting skills and you can't be too nervous at the time.

Wow, that guy at the end perfectly explains why some of us play those carnival games that you can't win. I goto the Texas State Fair for the car show and the amazing food, but while walking through the rigged game area I always end up thinking "I know I can do it this time, I've figured it out!".

The UFO video shermer on Larry King Live, is systematically removing our pro ET-UFO posts, and within minutes 5-10 negative ratings. We are really putting it to the shermer machine, and somebody(guess who) doesn't like it. This confirms we are getting to him.

Are you serious?
Like 50 of the people who worked there said they found all the metal was melted in the P1 level, they described it being like a molten lava

And that was their exact words. You can see it on Zeitgeist if you don't believe me.

Is that enough evidence or are you gonna tell me jet fuel melted all the structural steel?

Because you do realize you need something like thermite to do that and it's scientifically impossible to melt all that steel with just jet fuel.

You do realise that Zeitgeist is a satirical comedy, don't you?

Uh no, they haven't been found.
Where'd you get your false info anyway?

How can they be all over the news that they've melted and then be found?
