That can't be right. I'm pretty sure it was this plane that Phil boarded, and not some wings of steel. If you look closely enough, you can even see Phil taking a spa right beside WW.

Nitpicking the nitpicking, hopefully before JP beats me to it: Wings of aluminium, titanium and composites (say, A340).

Staving off nitpicking of nitpicking of nitpicking: Plus assorted electronics, hydraulics and landing gear. But mostly fuel I think, for example an A380 have 155 m^3 of it in the wings. (I can’t get an estimate of wing weight though.)

Subluxations?
They are old sensations!

I have for sale a new
form of woo:
SUPERLUXATIONS

Oh for a booth at TAM
to sell my scam.

You lot might be the ideal
Rube ore schlemiel.

(Oh no excuse my rambling,
I have you confused with the gambling.)

15. George E Martin Says: “PZ usually tries to set up some sort of social meeting with his minions, often at a venue where one can get beer, when he is attending something. I wonder if BA could do the same?”

Is there any venue in Vegas where you *can’t* get beer? And just about anything else? (and for those of you with your minds where they shouldn’t be, prostitution is illegal in Clark County).

Here is the lyrics for a song from your favourite movie.
I………

I………

All my bags are packed

I’m ready to go

I’m standing here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin’

This early morn

The taxi’s waitin’

He’s blowin’ his horn

Already I’m so lonesome I could cry

[Chorus:]

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you’ll wait for me

Hold me like you’ll never let me go

Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane

Don’t know when I’ll be back again

Oh babe I hate to go

I………

There’s so many times I’ve let you down

So many times I’ve played around

I tell you now

They don’t mean a thing

Every place I go

I think of you

Every song I sing

I sing for you

When I come back

I’ll wear your wedding ring

[Chorus]

Now the time has come to leave you

One more time

Let me kiss you

Close your eyes

I’ll be on my way

Dream about the days to come

When I won’t have to leave alone

About the time when I don’t have to say……..

[Chorus]

Leaving on a jet plane

[repeat]

There’s often some titanium in there too, JP.

(Mostly I’m just annoyed that you beat me to it.)

Shouldn’t that be ‘wings of aluminum’?

Okay, Phil. Just remember not to scream inside the bathroom if ever the floor suddenly gives way. I mean, at 40,000 ft. above the Atlantic Ocean, you’re safe from prying eyes. Why, even killer whales can’t jump that high.

Remember, it’s all an illusion. You’re actually high above a desert.
