Title: Chariots of the Gods
Post by Lupin on Jul 16^th, 2003, 11:30am

He rode on a god to the heavens
And landed in the sea,
And the man that went up with him
Was named after a bee.

It was a memorable event indeed. (Well, for a few of us anyway ;))

Indeed it was - but it is a lesser-known fact that one of them never existed ...

I don't get that, but I'm sure some people call this Chariot a Ship.

It may be called that (among other things) but what is that which you don't get? the riddle? or my crack about the non-existant one? If the latter, it's all part of a government hush-up ... -> [hide]does "Gnorts!" ring a bell?[/hide]

No, doesn't ring anything. ???

As for the Ship thing, I was referring to a thread in the "What Am I" section, but I didn't want to post a link.

Ah, so it is sort of "spacey."

Not Kevin, but you've got it.

Found it. I think I hadn't done a thorough search before posting this one.

Gnorts? Oh, well -> [hide]The proper intergalactic salutation is "Gnorts." You see, there is no such person as Neil Armstrong - there never was - it was all a cover-up done by high NASA officials and other Government Agencies to hide the fact that the Apollo Lunar mission was really a pre-arranged meeting among probes from different solar systems. Unfortunately, the greeting, "Gnorts, Mr. Alien" was recorded and inadvertently sent to Earth, but when it was released to the news it was played backwards.[/hide]

Well i don't feel like searching for the other thread so while i'm here [hide] I know the "god" in the riddle was one of the apollo missions but i'm not sure which one[/hide] As for the guy named after a bee... well i'm not sure, but after i post this i'll do a thread search :P

Where's the problem? This riddle is nice, I particularly like your beef-up.
