Internet To The Rescue

In case you didn't already know, famed adventurer Steve Fosset went missing last Labor Day. He took off from some luxury ranch out west and never came back. The government has been looking for him ever since. He was supposed to be flying around and looking for dry lakes where he could attempt his next feat of setting the land speed record. This is the kind of stuff you work on if you're an "adventurer."

But after more than a week and lots of money spent, the government is now turning to you for help in finding the wealthy Mr. Fosset! Yes you, the anonymous internet user. You may not be trained in search & rescue. You may not know what kind of plane he was in. You may not even know who Steve Fosset is. No matter! Uncle Sam wants YOU!.....to use Google Earth to help find Steve Fosset!

I really hope someone from the internet does actually find him. This person would be famous for about a day or two. They would go on Jay Leno and talk about it. Ideally, it would be some kind of retired guy who just learned how to surf the internet last week from his grandson.

"I was just lookin' at the google thing and thought I saw somthin'."

You just watch. It'll happen.
