[It’s not just snakes on a plane that we have to worry about any more](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2007/01/10/national/a064130S14.DTL).

I wonder if American told the people waiting for that flight in Toronto exactly why their flight was delayed…

Ah yes. I rather liked that movie. Just because, well, you really don’t see many movies being made about topography. I tell ya, I can’t wait for that new sci-fi thriller to come out, Snakes on a Tesseract.

I vote for more legs–centipedes on a plane!!! (as opposed to millipedes, which are smellier, but not as scary)
