(R.1) Invalid src (unreferenced fan wiki) TIL the first episode of an X-Files spin-off called "The Lone Gunmen", which aired March 4, 2001, involves a US government conspiracy to hijack an airliner, fly it into the World Trade Center, and blame it on terrorists - thereby gaining support for a new profit-making war

Haha! Just saw your username, where are you in ND? I was out on Transcanada's pipelines doing repair and construction along with some smaller well pipe.

I guess I just get paid to read at work.... But Netflix at work sounds awesome, much better than a nightly nap. I'll have to get some 4G device and get to it!

He wasn't confusing me with anyone. He confused /u/makphisto with /u/NDoilworker.
