Like everyone else, the story of a six-year-old boy trapped in a balloon traveling 25 miles per hour thousands of feet above Colorado captivated my attention for several hours yesterday. However, it appears that the whole thing was a hoax, or at the very least a huge misunderstanding. I am happy that the child is safe and alive, but I must admit that I am disappointed in myself for getting caught up in the story, and I’m also a little let-down that the story wasn’t true at all.
But Adolf Hitler is very upset that the entire thing was a hoax…
