Nice. I tend to pack so economically, I could probably get away with that as well.

That's what I do too! Instead of standing in line for 20 minutes, I sit in a chair and read, peruse the internet, enjoy my coffee, etc. Then, when everyone is on board, I gather my belongings, walk right up to the counter, get scanned, walk unimpeded down the ramp and board. Because most people have stowed their…

There is an app that lets you play zork 1-3 on the iphone. I would imagine there is an android version as well. (Includes the games)

I'll just leave this right here.

My Panasonic Plasma is miles better than my Samsung LED of the same size.

I've always wondered why our universal signal for "be quiet" is to make a snake-hiss.

Dat fuselage.

And medical care.

Isn't there an air-cushion effect that occurs when large aircraft fly close to the ground? I think I remember reading that somewhere.

I went from scrawny, 4-eyed, quiet bookworm to 2-eyed, quiet, somewhat buff bookworm. Life totally changed for the better.

I did a pubmed search and my conclusion is the opposite of yours. That is all.

after perusing the data on PubMed, I find tons of studies finding no correlation with exercise or even heavy lifting and a single RETROSPECTIVE study from Denmark that suggests an increased risk in the first trimester, but even the researchers admit that their research could be affected by unintentional biases.

Support that medical "fact" with some data. If you can't, your "fact" is an opinion.

Infant mortality was due to a lot of things, I don't think it's safe to assume physical activity on the part of the mother was one of those things.

You made me wanna pump my fist. I didn't. But I wanted to.

My wife and I were avid skiers and we would ski together while she was full-on preggers. People would stare and comment, like "aren't you afraid you'll hurt the baby"?
