Crumpled nose mystery

The Federal Aviation Administration continues to investigate a mysterious dent that suddenly showed up on a Northwest Airlines plane earlier this week.


In related news, both William Shatner and John Lithgow were dragged away screaming something about there being a man on the wing of the plane.

My coworker was on that flight. They hit a pelican.

The plane rammed Wonder Woman's invisible jet and that's why they never saw what hit it. Look closely at the dent: it's shaped like Lynda Carter.
