Germs and snakes on a plane

Quick food for thought this evening:

The next time you're shoved into the back of an airplane like a sardine, proximate to both Coughing Guy and Screaming Baby, count your lucky stars. First, take some Airborne. (Oooh! Web Fun! Follow the Airborne link. Which diseases you think the three germy characters on the Airborne homepage represent? We have Pink Amoeba Thing, Hungry Purple Blob, and Stripey Suction Nose. Post your thoughts in the comment section. Personally, I think Hungry and Stripey look normal enough for germs, but Pink Amoeba looks rather deranged.)

Back to our unfortunate situation in coach. Hacking and crying aside, be thankful you aren't sitting next to a dude with a bunch of snakes. I can see why they stopped him. A couple hundred snakes...no big deal. Just call in Samuel L. Jackson to lay down some smack on those slitherin' reptiles. But 700? What was he thinking?

Random photo for today: The downtown Minneapolis Mill District, snapped by me this afternoon from beneath the graceful curve of the 120-year-old Stone Arch Bridge. That's the new Guthrie Theater on the left, next to the Mill City Museum, the ruins of an exploded mill, and some new condos.
