Anyone else hear that there are some arson investigators checking things out? Apparently, while most thought the fire started up around his mouth area, some folks said they thought they saw flames down around his legs first. :headscratch

Fires usually travel up rather than down. A fire starting in his (hollow) leg could easily travel up and be seen in his neck. The problem I have is that if it started in ONE leg, how did the other leg burn?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic gigantic state fair welcomer. Big Tex will be that welcomer. Better than he was before.

Actually, I think it was the corn dogs. :mrgreen:
The employees of Bert’s Burgers and Fries left a hamburger sprouting out of a yellow tissue paper flower. And there were dozens of bouquets, including one with flowers and 10 corny dogs packed inside an upside-down cowboy hat.

The original 6 million dollar man was Steve Austin but he's not in Austin so would he be Steve Dallas?
