Heh, and I just found out that you can't get Led Zeppelin on iTunes.

It's on the back of Led Zeppelin 4.

It just occurred to me that "the back of" no longer means anything.

IND-MCI (KANSAS CITY): One flight a day

MEM-ICT (WICHITA): Two flights a day

That's the April flight schedule, which means a total of FIVE flights a day terminate in Kansas. That video is around three or four years old I think, so flights might have been added since then, or you just missed watching them land.

Icky: saying "side two" makes as much sense as pulling alongside someone in a car and jerking your hand in a circular motion for them to roll down their window....

People tend to know what you mean, though.

Hey Coridon,

Do you work for FEDEX because it seems like you know an awful lot about the Company? Just curious

Re: FedEx: 25hrs of flights

For anyone interested in picking up this completely cool version of the Zepplin song:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=glance&n=5174

Pickin' on Zepplin: 6. Going To California - Dennis Caplinger

You could just extract the audio from the wmv, but at least now we know who recorded it.

Took me a while to find that one out

I dunno, I think I need some help. I borrowed a CD from someone and flipped it over before putting it in my machine, but couldn't find the song anywhere. Do I have to put in a special code or something?

I don't ever remember double sided CDs...but there were double sided DVDs for a while, usually with one side full screen and the other side widescreen. I haven't seen any recent releases with this feature, though.

I remember some black CD's which were double-sided. You had to play them on an open-faced CD player.

Yeah, but they were huge...like, as big as LaserDiscs.

Principles of good Sandbox Etiquette:
Assume good faith - Be polite, please! - Work toward agreement. - Argue facts, not personalities. - Concede a point when you have no response to it, or admit when you disagree based on intuition or taste. - Be civil. - Be prepared to apologize. In animated discussions, we often say things we later wish we hadn't. Say so. - Forgive and forget. - Recognize your own biases and keep them in check. - Give praise when due.

Treat others as you would have them treat you

Re: FedEx: 25hrs of flights

I searched 'thunder' and 'storm'. Forgive me if this has already been shared.

This time lapse shows the route of FedEx planes approaching Memphis as a storm approaches (from the Northeast - unusual for Memphis).
