For years stealthchasers (those guys who sneak around secret USAF test bases in search of secret aircraft) knew the Bird Of Prey existed. They knew it was being tested over the secluded Nellis Air Force Base ranges in Nevada. They knew what hangar it was being secreted away in at Nellis (on the northeast corner) and they even managed to obtain a squadron patch depicting the aircraft itself!... but the government still denied its existance until today. At a ceremony at Boeing's St Louis plant their super-secret Bird Of Prey batplane was revealed today for the world to see and marvel at. You can view exclusive photos of it at popsci.com and projectblack.net."

    Apparently it's not stealthy enough if people got that much info about it... Okay, that was lame. I apologize.

    can i just say WOW!

    i have never been modded down so quickly, with the exception of the few times i've fp-ed. Yes, this is the first post, but i was trying to make a quick joke (on topic) about the article, not trolling. jesus tits, if you moderators spent half as much time enjoying life as you did masturbating about your ability to strike terror into the hearts of posters, then you would laugh-- instead of zealously downmodding.

    It looks like fricken origami. Perhaps it really was born as a "napkin idea". If the enemy captures you, wipe your face with your plane and quickly toss it in the trash.

    I can see how it could be an incentive. I wish that the days of creative trolling would come back ... but, from what I can see when I read at -1, good trolls are even rarer than intelligent posts on Slashdot.

    The banal comments that make it to +5 aren't worthy of the title "troll". (And, of course, they all sound the same whether they were intended to be trolls or not.) The more clever ones are generally sitting at +1 or so.
