Don't drink too many though, because the next rest stop is over 50 miles away and we know about your irritable bowel syndrome and your passenger's over-active bladder. You don't want us to have to send the cleaning crew again, do you?
I was on a commercial flight a few years ago that was struck by lightning as we were crossing Lake Michigan. After the incident, the pilot came on and explained that not only is "static discharge" rather common, but that most commercial airliners have a lightning rod-like device built into the nose of the plane.
Now, whether he was just saying that to ease our worried minds or not is another story, but thought I would pass it along. If true, pretty interesting stuff.
Also - there was unfortunately no pleasing massage sensation - just a real bright light (it was an evening flight), a loud "thud", and a loss of power in the cabin for about 3 seconds. Fun times.
Elk: All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much MUCH thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is the theory that I have and which is mine, and what it is too.
Host: That's it, is it?
Elk: Right, Chris.
Host: Well, Anne, this theory of yours seems to have hit the nail on the head.

I'm assuming the obvious reasons you elude to are: 1. Dogs 2. Toddlers
And another thing - why the hell didn't Sam throw an apple at Bill Ferny on the way out of Bree?
How about the obvious "Morpheus is speaking to you live from a blue-screen stage" speech? Does that usually happen too?
I just spit water out of my nose after reading this. Thanks a bunch!
Was anyone else thinking "I'm not clicking.... it must be goatse".
Elrond = Agent Smith. "Hello Mr. Aragorn. Surprised to see me?"
