Go to Tim Blair's site. He has posted a copy of a Scandinavian newspaper cartoon you just gotta see. Think Al Gore, freezing person and a burning drum full of a certain book.
Agree with Atlantic Jim. As a grammar Nazi would point out, there are two correct options:
1) They drank
or
2) They have drunk (they've drunk for short)
Please ignore the fatigue cracks in the blade mounting bracket bolts. That's all very common to this type of rotating machinery and couldn't possibly supplant the more plausible UFO theory.
By the way, we'll be doubling the power bill from this month on to fund further possible repairs from UFO attacks. Better safe than rich we always say...

When I first read that I was thinking that aliens were after supporters of the New York Giants football team.
Crazy where your mind goes without a reference point.
Yeah, I know, the reference point was the giant windmill in Kate's picture but I just drank a Gorilla Milk cocktail and the damn thing is kicking my ass three ways to Friday.
Damned creamy, smooth cocktail.
mmmm. Gorilla Milk.
Oh, and to keep it topical, UFOs are either natural phenomenon, manmade or the product of a person who's MHA.
Accessibility, centrifugal forces, high tip speeds, high rotational momentum conflict loads due to wind gusts, blade airfoil disfigurement, frost and ice and insect and dust contamination, foreign objects collisions including birds, wind storms, lightening, ....
This was obviously a Hamas suicide attack to disrupt the UK power supply. The MSM will undoubtedly neglect to report the findings of body bits and pieces in the wreckage………….why not?

It’s obviously the “Triangle affect” caused by the three blades that are attracting the UFO's. (Think Bermuda Triangle). It is more than possible that a Triangle has a sexual attraction to aliens. They may have to increase the blade count to 5
Toronto Maple Leafs & Triangles: They would do well to dig up Red Kelly and his “Pyramid Power” theory when he coached the Leafs. Those pyramid hats he made the players wear in the box resulted in the players begging to stay on the ice. Thats Motivation!
"Please ignore the fatigue cracks in the blade mounting bracket bolts."
Perhaps some material was cheaply sourced offshore. Sometimes substandard "stuff" gets delivered c/w phony ASME (and other official-looking) stamping/documentation and needs careful inspection before being used. Over the past 15 years or so this has become a real issue in my business.
Could this be a strange new manifestation of AGE (Al Gore Effect)?
We all know that whenever he visits a city to talk about global warming that city managers as far south as Panama break out the snow clearing equipment. Could this be what happens when he visits a fan park?
Some good old negotiating without preconditions is the way to go!
Think people, if these aliens can afford to travel that far with their pimped out rides, they must have some scratch. Most UFO's have big flat screens and surround sound. What's 1.2 Trillion to aliens anyways?
Does anyone know what the galactic interest rates are?
G.K. Chesterton was, apparently, a moron. Pick up any "holy book" and you'll find dozens of passages which are every bit as ridiculous as the UFO nonsense. Besides which, I'm sure that Fred Phelps will be along any minute now to tell us that this turbine failure was God's punishment for the growing faggotry in Lincolnshire.

BTW ,
Most awesome graphic evah !
"drank" is definately a bona fide word. I often use it in scrabble.
Everyone's a spelling nazi these days.
Drink, drank, drunk.........
Drunk is probably the most correct tense. But only after ya finish the belly laugh from the graphic and story.

Hay Alex!
Is faggotry really growing in Lincolnshire?
I dunno, ask Fred Phelps :)
Can't see how he can help. After winning a bunch of olympic gold medals, he's pretty much busy with his endorsements.
can i buy you a "drank"?
