Oh seperate post because a completely unrelated topic. Does anyone know if pilots use written checklists for takeoff? Or do they just rely on memory?
They're written. Relying on memory is frowned upon for that.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hec, could you try for coffee and some forming-sentences abilities, instead? I'm covered with regards to the water, thanks - that's the most important thing.
Some day I'm going to look back at this and laugh at myself and the whole situation. That some day is not yet today, though.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Absolutely.
In addition to printed checklists, you can also get pre-written lists for your PDA, and you can get versions that integrate with cockpit displays.
But electronics fail, so the printed versions are a must.

Coffee, check. The kosher kind, I presume, without any lobster shells in it, right? As for the sentence forming, I hereby give you rights for the rest of the night to my entire supply of active verbs. They're very useful in the formation of cogent, vivid sentences.

Caffeine for Nilly! I know you can do it, and do it well.

Note to self: Do not accept coffee from Hec

I'm too tired. There aren't really any coffees in the world with lobster shells in them, right? Because now my scary visual place imagines people having to drink coffee from spiral-shape chells, and they have to wait until the srops crawl through all the rounds of the spiral, and, well, it can be quite the voyage.

Oh, thanks. If suddenly in the middle of a physics and computer science report there will be some music-related word, I'll know where it from.
Laura, thanks.

And on another note, I need a bet settled. Is the sheep in A Close Shave named Sean or Shorn?

Nope.

See, but it was worth it for the visualization.
