Think how long it’s going to take us to visit the planets within just our Solar System… That thread reminded me of a clip I saw on Facebook. A guy was apparently dead and speaking to an angel or saint or something. At one point he had 60 seconds to ask any questions he wanted and they’d be answered. He asked who killed Kennedy. The answer was a Secret Service agent who turned around to return fire at Oswald and hit the President instead. There was no identification as to where this clip came from Anyone have any idea? ---

The whispering angel meme. I’ve seen it on YouTube. There are many variations of the joke. But I’ve seen “who killed JFK” one. Yeah. Oldie. ---

I was not successful pinning down where it came from exactly. ---

This sort of scene was on SNL some years ago with Kevin Nealon as the angel, but I don’t recall whether or not they mentioned JFK. ---

Probably not it, but Pushing Daisies utilized a ‘dead person comes back to life and answer some questions for 60 seconds’ mechanism. ---
