Whilst the bit about not blocking e-mail systems with funny stuff is somewhat valid, shouldn't the idiot also think that sending out self-serving rubbish that would be copied to be laughed at should also be avoided ?

......... However, the truth may seem stranger than fiction. The hangar was filled with foam on purpose.

..............The required coverage occurred within one minute of the system being activated. The test was so successful the foam reached the observation platform where officials were documenting the procedure.

The Air Force required a minimum of one meter of foam to be achieved in
four minutes or less. For testing purposes, the foam was allowed to
disperse for the full four minutes. ........

....... The system worked so well, the exterior door of the hangar was opened before the test was fully completed. This resulted in the photos of the amount of foam inside and outside of the hangar. ........"


It's great that mistakes can be ascribed to success.


(It is also depressing that the USAF still can't spell "metre" properly).
