Penn & Teller are awesome. These ****ing people are dangerous, and a lot of very popular talk radio pundits have picked up on it, spreading this disgustingness to the masses. I'm the least confrontational person in the world, but a couple of weeks ago when I saw some hippie at Ground Zero wearing a sandwich board advertising his 9/11 conspiracy website, I really had to resist the urge to do bad things to him.

As anti-conspiracy as I am, I must admit though, there is one tidbit out of all the reams of 9/11 info I've gone through that makes me think "uhh, wait, what?" Larry Silverstein, during an interview in a PBS documentary about the attacks, speaking about what happened to 7 World Trade, says "we pulled the building." "Pulling" a building is the term used by demolition experts to describe a controlled implosion. Why would he say such a thing?

Well 7 WTC never really "fully collapsed", IIRC. I think there were still about 10 floors, not intact or anything like that, but still standing somewhat, so it could be likely they decided to just implode that to clear everything...
