What is Foo and why are they fighting it? Do we all need to become better educated on the war against Foo??
I've always wanted to know.

I believe the Foo war began at an American zoo where orangutans (who became quite educated in their captivity reading discarded junk food wrappers) began to protest their uninteresting diet of gerbils and old bananas by throwing Foo. Once the first primate began to throw his own Foo, the zoo keepers, also primates, felt an uncontrollable urge to throw their own Foo back at the orangutans. This is called the Foo Fight effect, also seen in grade school cafeterias but not labeled until the First Foo War of 2001 (which happened in Congress close to the end of the year and highly popularized by the media). Now in modern society, it's highly irregular for someone to throw their own Foo on account of such media coverage and fear of the backlash caused by the Foo Fight effect.

dave grohl is fascinated by aliens. the seattle native called his band the foo fighters after a strange aerial phenomenon - moving fireballs believed by some to be flying saucers - witnessed by u.s. air force pilots in german skies near the end of the second world war. he named his record label roswell in tribute to the new mexico town subjected to an elaborate government coverup after reporting a ufo crash in 1947.
haha, what i first posted was the entire article..most had nothing to do with name origin so i chopped it all out

Foo Fighters were the name American Pilots gave the UFO's they encountered. Aka "Flying saucers."
"Foo" or "Fu" is Chinese for "ghost" or "spirit."
Not a bad name for a techno band.
