Did Steve Fossett fake his own death?
Article from:
July 28, 2008 07:54am

FLYING adventurer Steve Fossett may have faked his own death following revelations he had an amazing double life and kept several secret mistresses.

This is the sensational theory of a US air force officer on the month-long search for Fossett and crack insurance investigators who are convinced this legend of the skies may still be alive.

It's from the internet so it must be true :-)

They found half a dozen other planes that disappeared in the area. I think the odds are that he and his are down there with the other two dozen they still haven't found. Either that or he is now in his secret lair, stroking a white cat and just about to launch an attack that will make him king of the world.

Oil could drop from $US120 to $78 according to OPEC president. In other news, the sky is falling and the moon is made of cheese.
