Free Tacos at King's Tavern If...

Friday, all eyes will be fixed on the sky in anticipation of the 150-ton space station's return to earth. Taco Bell is offering a free taco to everyone in the United States if the core of the Mir space station hits a floating Taco Bell target placed in the South Pacific.

Taco Bell has created a 40 by 40-foot target, painted with a Bell bull's-eye and bold purple letters stating: ``Free Taco Here.'' The floating target will be placed in the South Pacific Ocean off the coast of Australia in advance of Mir's descent.

If the core of Mir hits the designated Taco Bell target upon its re-entry, every person in the United States will have an opportunity to obtain a coupon for a free taco, valid at participating Taco Bell restaurants.

``Taco Bell is capturing the imagination of millions of people as they eagerly await Mir's return to earth,'' said Chris Becker, vice president of brand communications, Taco Bell Corp. ``If Mir rings our bell, we will offer a free taco to everyone in the U.S..."

I wonder what would happen if part of it hit an actual Taco Bell restaurant???

Is this for real?

Toco Bell est. ti will cost 10 million to print the coupons and server the taco's if it gets hit, Ith has taken out an Insurance policy Just in case

How are they going to ensure that everyone who wants a coupon gets one?

LOL...maybe I'm thinking too seriously about this one.

It's for real, I saw an iterview with Taco Bell's founder on 9 News this afternoon

The target is WAY outside of the projected target zone, BTW. But it's fun anyway!

I remember when skylab came down. A local country station was giving away early warning detection hats. What they amounted to was a paper dunce cap. The theory was... if you felt skylab hit the tip of the hat... you had .00000098 nano seconds to jump out of the way.

Well, that should be plenty of time.

Free Tacos at participating Taco Bells! And that one will be in the middle of nowhere, totally inaccessable except by four wheel drive vehicles! I won't tell you what we call Taco Bell in our house. :lol:

Let me guess...it's Taco.... plus the word that rhymes with Bell but it's a place we won't be going when we die?
