@Dumpmy: You should be Heene’s lawyer. “But your honor, the balloon was filled with helium, NOT hot air as the prosecution stated!” The courtroom fills with gasps as the judge gavels and declares a mistrial…

Well, when you think about it, it was actually full of hot air as well as helium – the Heene’s hot air. But we do apologize for the error, since it really seems to have tweaked you off.

This was a helium balloon, not a hot-air balloon. Could someone please get their facts straight? Two minutes of Internet investigation could have saved you from this blunder. I guess the standard of accuracy in reporting is no longer important.
