This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I remember a quote from an A380 pilot saying the plane doesn't look like it should be able to fly.

Even the people that fly them know they don't look like a flying object.

I get it. That plane is so disgusting the earth tries to keep it as far as possible from the ground.

No, thats the helicopter. It's said that it does not fly, but is repulsed by the earth because it is the hubris of man manifest.

Planes fly because aerodynamics.

Helicopters fly because money.

Helicopters leave the ground because God has gazed upon them, and became angered when He saw them among His beasts, on the lands of His creation. God then decided to expel the helicopters from His earthly kingdom to flutter helplessly in His skies. God did this to punish Man, whose hubris led him to climb into the unholy creation. The Lord would then strike down the abomination fluttering in His skies, condemning the heretics that had climbed aboard in the belief that they could fool Him.

Thus the name "Jesus nut".

No, it's called the Jesus nut because if it fails, only Jesus can save you now.
