You forgot about the one that crashed into the pentagon and the other one that was suppoosed to hit the white house I believe. Anyway, 3000 people got killed in that horrible drama, among them lots of fire-men, ambulancers, and volunteers.
The attack on the WTC was one of the biggest terrorist attacks ever. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Yep i know about the 4 planes but i wanted to write something short.
It would be difficult to explain why.
So i choosed the 2 planes which killed the greatest number of people.

October 4th 2005
World animal day: On this day we treat our animals with something special.
But sadly enough, it's not our pets that need such extra treats, but all the animals in cages, used for testing, circus and other inhumane procedures.
Let's all think about:
-the many greyhounds in Spain, that are abused when they loose their ability to win races,
-the grizzlybears in Asia that are used to tap of gallfluids. They are kept in tiny cages, not even big enough to turn,
-the many baby seals, beaten to dead to preserve their white fur.
-whales, the hunt on these mammals is open again
-seahorses, captured to be dried out and used as a natural version of the Viagra pill
-cats in China, skinned alive, because the meat would taste better after the load of adrenaline that went through the cat's body
-circus animals that live in small cages and have to learn stupid tricks to entertain us, every single day
-there are still too many animals on this world, that need a loving home, or their freedom.
We have a women's day, a mother and father's day, even grandparents day. I'm glad that there is an animals day too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />

This thread didn't even last one whole year <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Nothing important happened today. I ate 'Parisare' (named after the capital of France <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />, toast, with a hamburger and a roasted egg. Don't know why it's called that...) for lunch. I've had a headache all day and been pretty tired.
