    So what is DB Cooper all about? Is it an [i]homage/i1 to the Aston Martin and Mini Cooper marques?b,121b,121It would be great if people could explain their board names too. I'm not too well up on the 'local experience' Ameriman idiom and some of the witty names pass me by.b,121kthxbai

    b,121D. B. Cooper is the name attributed to a man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the United States on November 24, 1971, received US$200,000 in ransom, and parachuted from the plane vanishing without a trace. The name he used to board the plane was Dan Cooper, but through a later press miscommunication, he became known as "D. B. Cooper". Despite hundreds of leads through the years, no conclusive evidence has surfaced regarding Cooper's true identity or whereabouts, and the bulk of the money has never been recovered. Several theories offer competing explanations of what happened after his famed jump, which the FBI believes he did not survive.
    b,121
    b,121The nature of Cooper's escape and the uncertainty of his fate continue to intrigue people. The Cooper case (code-named "Norjak" by the FBI) remains an unsolved mystery, and along with Malaysia Airlines Flight 653 is one of the world's few unsolved cases of aircraft hijacking.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121It's been my DJ name for the last decade. What with all the hippity hoppers taking the names of criminals, I figured I'd advance the game and take the name of someone who actually got away with it.b,121b,121img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f3/DBCooper.jpg/225px-DBCooper.jpg"1

I am1hoping that Lucious Fox will share PMs from when he was pretending to be1a female poaster who casually admitted she liked porn, if there were any.1I doubt that fooled anyone, but who knows.
