    It's awesome until you consider:

    a) How many bicycle thefts there are
    b) The ridiculous risk of packing valuables in your luggage
    c) How obvious that this is a bike to a baggage handler

    Because I seriously doubt this fits in an overhead bin. #cycling

    @blash: It may be possible for an entire bike to be stolen, but unless you fly The Airline Bubba Done Built Airways, it's likely you'll not have much to worry about. I have a feeling a baggage handler would not be as eager to snatch something that big, unless you're flying out of the Disputed Zone. #cycling

    And all for only 1100 dollars, plus shipping. Awesome. Might be worth it for some though. #cycling

    I don't think anybody cut from much "lesser cloth" would even consider buying this thing. If they're riding Huffy's (or anything NOT carbon/aluminum), then they probably don't want to bother dis/assembling their bike. Nor would they shell out the money for this thing, as spiffy as it is.

    Okay, we're all geeks here, we all know about XKCD by now. New toons are published on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Can we stop getting articles for them on here? Or is there real demand for it? If you really care for it, just go on the site on those days, and read it from there. Because if you read it here, you miss the funniest part of XKCD. #xkcd

    The strangest thing I ever saw was the TSA making my co-worker remove a prosthetic leg. It kind of freaked me out at first because I didn't know it wasn't a real leg. #xkcd

    @Shamoononon: I shave my legs.: What's the etiquette with missing legs, anyway?

    I worked as an environmental inspector a while back, and saw this one guy that worked for the town about once a week. One day he showed up without a leg, and I was really uncomfortable asking the question: "um...what happened to you leg, man?" #xkcd

    I think he probably should have mentioned something first. I really had no idea and was caught way off guard.

    Can someone please tell Jason that he's damaging my stereotype of Asian men? Either no mustache, or long flowing mustache down to your chest. There's no middle ground here guys. #virginamerica

    I can't for the life of me figure out what is happening out of shot to cause that expression. My current top choices are:
    A) an Air Marshal holding a gun with frangible rounds pointed at him!
    B) the plane is entering a parabolic dive, and he's enjoying it like a roller coaster.
    or C) He's joining the half mile high club.

    Am I missing any? #virginamerica
