Guess what? It does! It even maps directly to a button on the remote *you already own* - Gandalf was involved obviously. Anyway its that button that looks like this: ||, or labelled "Pause".
Also... the article mentions 2-dollar bills. Since when have the States had Twos? We (Canada) got rid of ours almost a decade ago and the states is just starting to make them now? talk about behind the times. Or is that a joke?
Actually $2 bills have been around in the US for a long time. Sometimes when I need cash, instead of using the ATM I go into the bank and ask for $40 in $2 bills. I give a few of them to my kids.. it wows them every time!
So there were actually two major printings of $2 bills in the recent past, and I cant remember the exact years right now, but every $2 bill I've ever had has either been printed in 1956 (I think!) or in in 1996 (a rough guess again). Sometimes I get a stack of brand new, in sequence, 1996 (?) bills. The banks clearly haven't used up their $2 bill stash.

This flight wasn't the first non stop unfueled flight, but the fastest.
The first [centennialofflight.gov] was in 1987 and was another Burt Rutan built plane which took 9 days to do the trip!
