After 20 years he still breathes (my sister's mishearing of the lyrics).

Is this the right room for an argument?

We-ll, just like ........ "The aircraft seen crashing in the show's opening sequence was an M2-F2, a "lifting body configuration" built by Northrop. The audio sound effects are from a crash that occurred on May 10, 1967, at Edwards Air Force base in California (although the dialogue heard was recorded by Lee Majors). The test pilot, Bruce Peterson, hit the ground at two hundred fifty miles per hour, tumbling six times. He lost use of his right eye following an infection, and had to stop flying, ending his career. Understandably, Peterson has said that he hated reliving his accident, week after week, courtesy of the show." (from imdb, The Six Million Dollar Man (and PLEASE, let's not say that one!))


As ski mishaps go, I thought this one, of a few short years ago, was pretty bad, not because of the skier but because of how the onlookers reacted.
