Almost of interest :doh:

[Gerald]

ACCURATE!

[Jimbuna]

Agreed...but I suspect of limited interest :yep:

Judging by the picture it looks like a couple of ninjas still managed to slip past the security on horseback. :hmmm:

[Gerald]

There is in principle a new day,:hmmm:

Already been to and inside the Pyramid of Khufu.
:rock:

That was the main reason I became a ParaTrooper way back when.
:yep:

I read that the 82nd was going to Egypt, I wanted to see the Pyramids all my life, so I joined the Army and jumped out of AirCraft just for a slim chance I may get to go.
:o

I got to go, jumped out of the AirCraft, and saw them as I floated down.
:cool:

A Tour We went on later that week to the site ended up with a very select few of us getting to go inside!!
:rock:
(It did cost me one of those 'Space Blankets' I gave to an Egyptian General in thier AirBorne Units. ;) But that's another story!)

Karl Pilkington visiting the Pyramids was very enlightening to me. After seeing this bit, I don't think I'd really like to go there:

:har:

No!! We had to go in Civilian camouflage to the site.
We were bused in from a nearby base along with the rest of the Company Troopers.

It was a standard tour for everyone but the select few.
I only got to go on that tour because I somehow made a great impact on the General.
The lowest rank aside from mine was Major.
I was just a PFC.
Talk about being out of place!
:haha:

If you judge the Pyramids on THAT bit of BS?
I think you have limited yourself to the mundane.
I'd doubt you could even imagine a project as vast as what stands there today.
Seeing it on YouTube is NOTHING even remotely close to seeing it let alone touching it.
By your statement the Moon sucks also and you'd never go there.

I never thought I'd care for Houston from videos I saw.
Then I did some work there.
Come to find I kind of like Houston.
Except for maybe that 'Neal' Guy.
He's kind of :shifty:
:har:
