My sole flounders in a dark plaice. Why has Cod forced hake on me?

 When I read that article about landing on the beach, I was picturing this 777, 200 ft long by 200 ft wide, skipping down the beach like a Frisbee. Then some guys jump out high-fiving each other, and the boss says, quick, cover it with sand before somebody sees us, we'll dig it out when we're ready to leave.  Better than the cartoon channel.

If it landed, it must have landed where nobody saw it, or where somebody saw it and isn't telling.

The Boeing webpage 'Boeing 777 Facts' says there are 3,000,000 parts on a 777. I guess you could measure strip-time in minutes, but, that number would contain a fair number of zeros & commas.

You don't suspect a level of facetiousness?

Once lost on a deserted island, things become easier. Apparently a lack of government regulations makes life simpler. Even Rush says so. Why did you not kow that? A car door has hundreds of parts. Even Gilligan, using the right bamboo, could remove it in seconds. |

The Island is a really fascinating place. The Polynesian natives have somehow picked up the Voodoo practices of Haiti and Africa, even though they are a hemisphere away. The castaways also frequently encounter mountain gorillas, which have somehow gotten half a world away from their African home and across a vast ocean to the Island. The laws of physics are such that spiders are able to grow to the size of a human. Oxygen is able to reach the tissues a foot or so inside their bodies, even though they have no lungs or blood vessels. And NASA rockets keep landing on or otherwise observing the Island. Lightning bolts on the island have the ability to make a person invisible. And perhaps most amazingly, the Island geography changes dramatically over time. Sometimes it is several days journey across, perhaps 100 kilometers or so. Other times, it is only a few hundred meters across. Sometimes, the largest cave on the island can only fit 6 of the 7 castaways in it. Other times, the largest cave can fit all 7 castaways, and a giant spider with plenty of room between them for a chase scene with a pigeon. Fascinating stuff. |

I wouldn't be surprised if it's under the pile of boots, shoes, coats and backpacks in our front room.... or embedded in the snow pile in our front yard.
