This was posted (very briefly) on the McDonnell Douglas Website by an 
employee there who obviously has a sense of humour. The company, of course, 
does not have a sense of humour, and made the web department take it down 
immediately (for once, the 'IMPORTANT' note at the end is  worth a read 
too...).
