No, no…not what you’re thinking…but I’m sure there are lots of day-after-college party stories out there. This is a fun little read I ran across [sub]_ahem_[/sub] waiting for the board to react to me earlier tonight. It’s a recounting of a ride aboard the plane used for weightless training by NASA, written by Penn Jillette (of “Penn and Teller” fame, if you _don’t_ know). Other guest of note: Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. There’s even a video clip. Presenting, from that _other_ website dedicated to fighting ignorance (for or against is another debate), [http://www.artbell.com](http://www.artbell.com) I give you:

[Learning to Fly, Strip, and Vomit on a 727](http://www.artbell.com/letters16.html)

Enjoy.
