    Puts me in mind of the quote I read earlier from the captain of BA Flight 09 when all 4 engines on his 747 failed due to flying through volcanic ash...
    Which reminds me of this:

    Posh and Becks were flying out on holiday when the plane’s Captain came on the tannoy to announce "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking."
    Posh said "David, it’s that Roy Keane !"
    "No, it isn’t," said Beckham "Just listen."
    "I have to tell you one of our engines has failed, but there is nothing to worry about. We have three engines left and our flight
    will take an hour longer than scheduled," the Captain continued.
    A little later, the Captain came on again. "One more engine has failed and the flight will now take an additional two hours. But
    don’t worry, we can fly fine on just two engines."
    About an hour on, the pilot addresses the passengers once more.
    "Another engine has failed and we will therefore now be delayed three hours, but we are able to complete the flight on one engine."
    At this point, Posh turns to Becks and said "Blimey, David. If we lose one more engine, we’ll be up here all day ." !!!
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
