Today is a day for all Americans to remember, the tenth anniversary of the release of John Travolta's SF epic, Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000. Instead of anger or politics, let's just bow our heads and commit ourselves to a better class of SF movie. Oh, and today is my boy lemur's seventh birthday. Since he will one day rule the world, you might want to start celebrating.

Sorry, not very classy Lemur...
For several reasons, I do wish the 'terror attack event' would not have been given the name of a date. (Which seems to be the ultimate subject of the thread)
On the upside, 9-11 is the birthday of a friend of mine, one of the easiest to remember, and I haven't missed it in a near decade.
Like Lemur (jr), she does hate that the birthday is associated with the terror attack event.
I don't get why Americans keep saying the twin tower terrorist attack happened on the 9th of November...

It's also the date when Elvis Presley appeared on the Ed Sullivan show for the first time in 1956. Never forget!

hahahaha!! I like it. I say "never forget" about everything. If humor means that the terrorists are winning, I like it.
It means quite the opposite actually.Quote:

Didn't you all get the memo? 9/11 is our day, not any other countries day.
That's what the Medieval Fair nerds say every time I show up in a Jedi costume.
I confess I don't quite understand more than half of the posts here...nonetheless, this is a 9/11 thread....so, my condolences, to all those who suffered a loss that day.
A good finish, so we will leave it here.
