I could get a knife through Customs just fine as long as it's in my checked luggage. Tom Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 03:00:50 PM
I've carried Kazakh sabres two feet long in my checked luggage across three continents and I even got a one-foot long Chinese machete (a dao, which is a very imprecise term, but the Japanese equivalent would be a sai in terms of length) into the cabin on a China Southern flight from Beijing to Hong Kong provided I agreed to surrender it to the stewardess. Of course, that was before September 11th and it was sort of silly that they took it away from me given that the plane was hurtling down the runway in Hong Kong and hadn't even slowed down when she ran down the aisle and presented it to me as though asking me to use it.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

The problem I have with that is that the "black goop" extends too far to the right, obscuring posts. - 08/06/2010 04:46:48 PM 1316 Views
It's the size of your monitor, not the browser. *NM* - 08/06/2010 04:54:24 PM 760 Views
