Interesting side-note to the new doors, Ralph Nader and his Raiders proposed improved doors back in 1987 but the airlines balked. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Actually that's incorrect. A stopped clock would only be right if you looked at it at the exact moment of the time that's displayed. This is all based on the assumption that it's a clock with hands and that it's a 12 hour clock. The clock is right (for that infintessimal moment) whether you're looking at it or not. Sorry to be the one to burst your bubble. I'm sure you'll get over it though.  Sorry to burst yours. :~)

You'd be wrong about that, because if I'm not looking at it for the time shown but only at the time not shown then it's wrong. And if I look at twice a day, it'll be wrong both times. I guess I burst your bubble too. Humble apologies. R. Hubbell

Sounds like you married my first wife. Sorry to hear that. George Patterson Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is "Hummmmm... That's interesting...."
