    Maybe it's just me or maybe people are now sitting 2 to a seat but there's 6 lanterns on 3 seats. Yeah, the BP got it wrong.

    They put it in economy class? Those cheap asses!

    How come they never let me bring fire on airplanes?

    I get that more lanterns means lower chances that all the flames will go out, but doesn't this technically make it Olympic flames, rather than an Olympic flame? And are they seated on desktop printers?

    So many questions...

    @Hello Mister Walrus: Remember what happened to your middle school? I do, and so do Benjamin's parents. That's why they don't let you bring fire on airplanes.

    And they look like they're seated on handicap or children's toilets to me.

    You've got a vote from a cougar down south.

    ...I...I go to BYU. I didn't mean that kind of cougar. Or that kind of south.

    @Calzo: Hey I'm surprised as you are; I've been laughing at this Family Guy episode for the last half hour. I guess it's just late or something.

    Say what you will about the show--those manatees really strike gold every now and then.

    In reply to Amazing 400ft Tall Spherical "Cloud" Structure Proposed for London Skyline
    They've got some respectable engineering talent, but I get the feeling it won't be built for 5-50 million pounds. Due to London's fairly unique geology (among large cities), structures like that need very complex and expensive foundations. That's why there aren't many skyscrapers in London, outside of the financial district (Canary Wharf).

    If I were a betting man, I'd bet the plan would be to use the initial funding to begin construction, then go begging to the government for the extra £100m required to make it work. #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres

    @Curves: There is no such thing as "london fog," it was the haze from when they burned coal in their households and since they outlawed that practice 100 years ago it has never come back. #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres

    @Matt Flick: I have spent years wanting to go to London to SEE the fog (and have tea with Her Maj, and tickle a Beefeater, etc) and your telling me there IS no fog? Next thing you know, someone will be telling me there is no Santa or Tooth Fairy or Great Pumpkin...... Thanks for crushing my dreams. ;) #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres

    @toblathe: I had to look that up, since I had not ever heard that term. I see what you mean, but the Urban Distionary had some VERY interesting definations of this that term and they do not involve pancakes. (The stuff I learn at Giz!) #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres

    @toblathe: I clicked on the link with some trepidation, fearing it might have been video of definintions 4 or 5. Yes, I was greatly relieved. I am still pretty upset about London not being foggy though. I feel like my rain coat has been lying to me all these years.... #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres
