'The Horror of Blimps'

During my slow but sure scouring of the Straight Dope archives (don't ask...) I came across this gem of a thread.

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/...d.php?t=160851

It was all over the internet in it's heyday (2003) but I've only just stumbled upon it now.

I dare you to read it and not wet yourself laughing

'The Horror of Blimps'

...and there was me thinking this thread was going to be about this blimp here http://www.independent.co.uk/life-st...-a7207291.html and whether it looks more like Thunderbird 2 or butt cheeks.

I thought this thread was about old British generals who write angry letters to the "Daily Telegraph"....

It actually read like one of those bizarre LSD/ketamine trips!
