    I just watched ten guys poke at a balloon for five minutes to find out there was no kid inside. Don't you think one of them would have been able to have found and open the door instead of trying to poke the damn thing?

    Calm the fuck down.

    All we have is speculation. It's in my opinion the kid wasn't in the balloon. You're entitled to your opinion as well, but that's mine.

    Watching CNN at times like this borders on being physically painful.

    And, honestly, if that was a weather balloon then it probably wouldn't have had a door. Just a small hatch to load scientific instruments through.

    We just got a press release saying the U.S. Marshals service is recognizing a local rotary club for their support of Operation F.A.L.C.O.N.

    Saw this on Twitter.

    Clearly this is viral marketing for the UP! Blue-Ray release. Kudos Disney. #balloonboy

    My skepticism antenna is at full deployment, that's for sure.

    If they tell me the kid's name is Icarus, ballgame over.

    Wow, 50 people on this thread. We haven't had that many people on one thread at one time since Boots was backdooring a neighbor, and the back door was a front door, but it was a good door.

    Was that door large enough to fit meteorological equipment through it?
