In view of my recent return from overseas, today's subject is travel...  How true! Paris is a city besieged by 18 year old rookie soldiers wielding assault rifles...
 
Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible. Stephen Hawking
Airplane Travel is nature's way of making you look like your passport photo.  Al Gore [whilst I don't agree with everything he's come up with, on this one, he's right! Ed.]
 
Allegedly true stories: A friend of mine traveled on the Ghan from Adelaide via Alice Springs to Darwin. Between the Alice and Katherine, the first engine broke down. The driver continued at half-power, but then the other engine failed and the train came to a standstill. Over the intercom, passengers heard the following: “People, afraid our engines have spat the dummy. We're n a bit of a pickle 'ere... I've good news and bad news. The bad news is that both engines have failed and we will be stuck 'ere for a while. The good news is that you decided to take the train instead of an airplane.”
