This has stirred up some controversy already - and I know PC is game - so here it is ...

Post things that, in your mind, don't add up regarding the official 9/11 story.

Rules
1) No name calling or slanderous comments
2) No tinfoil hat stuff (i.e. there is the face of the devil / Osama in the smoke)
3) This is designed for active debate - if you can show that another poster has been misinformed please let them (us) know.
4) This is not a place for politics (Just the facts ma'am)
5) This is not designed to disrespect the people who lost their lives (or the surviving families)  - on the contrary I think the most respectful thing anyone can do is to find out the real truth behind what happened.  If the truth is that some terrorists highjacked some planes - OK, however if the truth is something else - then I think it is very respectful to the families to find that out.

 Mother's day is on the horizon ... I was googling the exact date when I came upon some classic things that mom say to their kids.
My mom told me 27 / 38 of these.  
Did she attend some kind of mom college where you learn this stuff or is it all part of a collective consiousness???

1) Money does not grow on trees
2) Don't make that face or it'll freeze in that position.
3) If I talked to my mother like you talk to me....
4) Always change your underwear; you never know when you'll have an accident.
5) Be careful or you'll put your eye out.
6) What if everyone jumped off a cliff? Would you do it, too?

12) Don't eat those, they will stunt your growth.
13) If you don't eat those, you will stunt your growth.

15) It doesn't matter what you accomplish, I'll always be proud of  you.
16) I hope that when you grow up, you have kids "Just Like you"!  (Also known as the "Mother's Curse")

19) If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times.
20) Eat your vegetables, those children in China (Africa, Vietnam) would be happy to have some broccoli to eat! (Contributed by Sheryl McDermott)
21) If you fall out of that tree and break you leg , don't come running to me.
