he didn't know it was a (I'm going to get Banned if I do not EDIT this Immediately)ing cop.... he thought he was telling a student that in the middle of selling drugs... people exagerate [Craig James] all the time just for the effect.   It was very obvious that 82 wasn't a legitimate number, but the newspaper did it's best to make it look like that...

If I said, "82 A&M players made love to sheep last week", should that be a headline.
All through the winter of '43, we had translators working in joke-proof conditions to try and produce a German version of the joke. They worked on one word each for greater safety. One of them saw two words of the joke and spent several weeks in hospital. But a part from that, things went pretty quickly, and we soon had the joke by January in a form which our troops couldn't understand, but which the Germans could.

Were you there.?. There seems to be a lot of misinformation/embellishment,
on this whole thing, for what ever reasons/agendas...... Do we really know  that
Brock said this in the 1st place? Read on a police statement on this board that
brock said at least 60.... or something like that.

Cheers !

It would appear, that the TCU 360 editorial staff and Ryan Osborne willingly

resorted to a bit of yellow journalism to promote a sensational headline.  :rolleyes:
