Tom Cruise's P-51 Mustang

It has "Kiss Me Kate" painted on the nose. He had Diane Sawyer in the back seat. He also had two other warbirds escorting and filming him. One of them was a british warbird, I think a Sea Fury, and the other might have been another p-51. I definitely like his taste in planes better than John Travolta's. To bad they let insane people fly planes. I guess if you got enough money............ What do you mean? Scientology? It's beyond me how anyone can belive in that. Millions believe in neoconservativism. Which is crazier? Cheers ==bob |

Stoicism makes sense to me, as does pre-Christianity (Zoroastrianism).
What I would really like to do is read an accurate Bible translation from before the Europeans got to meddling with it. BAR periodically prints short excerpts and the differences between 2nd century texts and the KJV versions are fascinating and tell more about modern inhibitions than anything else. v/r Gordon |

....before the -51, it was a Pitts S-2B, "Sweet Nick," named for his
then-wife, the lovely Ms. Kidman. He also has a G-V stashed at Santa Monica, as well. Lord only knows who he named THAT after... al staats |

Scientology was created as the result of a "bar bet" between two science fiction authors: L. Ron Hubbard and Robert A. Heinlein. Elron said that he could invent a bull**** religious package and sell it, based on voodoo science. RAH alluded that folks were gullible, but not that gullible. RAH wrote _Stranger in a Strange Land_ and Elron invented Scientology. They high-fived each other for the rest of their lives. cheers oz |

In Cruisey's defense, I have to say that he's always shown himself to
be immensely generous to strangers. Dropping $5K into a donation jar for a poor kid in a hospital or paying for a fancy dinner for kids on the way to the prom (he did that in Memphis while filming The Firm way back when), I'll accept the weirdness if it's tempered by good intentions. And if he's keeping a P-51 in the air, that's definitely good intentions. |

As opposed to Sean Penn who goes to New Orleans to rescue folks with a leaking boat full of entourage. I still don't like actors, though............. |

Not exactly. Hubbard and a publisher, Campbell, made a bar bet. Hubbard won. -- FF |
