Because Wednesday is boring, and I like to stir the pot.

The headline:
"Skinny Woman bumped off flight so overweight person could have two seats."

Yes, there were circumstances involved.  The overweight person was 14 years old and traveling alone, and had NOT purchased two seats.  However, the "skinny" person had paid full price.  Nobody was asked to voluntarily give up their seat - the skinny passenger was forcibly bumped.

What would you do?  What would Chthulu do?

Discuss.  No swearing.  Please qualify generalizations.  Rational debate preferred.  Virtual pie offered for functional suggestions.

*gets popcorn*

Wednesday became more amusing.

I find Star Trek geekery in the strangest places.  I was in one of the labs, and noticed that one of the pressurized water incubators had a sticker on it that said "Decloaking Chamber."  I laughed and asked if it was a Star Trek thing.

Well, apparently, the company "BioCare" was founded by a Star Trek geek.  They make products for use in biomedical research.  Look at one of their lines of TISSUE STAINS.  Look really closely at the names.  See anything familiar?  And check out the Nemesis 7200. 

Oh, the Geeks are everywhere.  I love it.
