...uh, actually, probably not Bethlehem -- Egypt or Nazareth (See Matthew 2:19). The Bible is fuzzy on exact dates...but they fled the Romans to Egypt and them returned to Nazareth. But why quibble about unsafe toddler walkers when in just a few years these shining examples of parental standards will forget the Son of God at the market. Hello, Child Services? Who allowed these people to be foster parents? Oh, nevermind...

... all this for back in the day when wool pants were the standard, often made at home ... and only well to do gentlemen could afford (or bothered with)under garments. If you were a working man you were going to get whatever clothes you wore dirty...so (especially if you were single) you wore as few garments as possible so you had fewer to clean...and you wore them day after day. Any one ever try to break in a pair of lederhosen...while going commando?

I was going to submit Aeroflot, the Russian state airline until you restricted it to domestic carriers. Aeroflot is a whole 'nother world -- 'festival seating' in the plane; stewardesses (with more gold teeth than the Russian hockey team) auctioning off the two six packs of beer allocated for the flight; flights cancelled due to inability to pay for fuel; massively uncomfortable seats; oh, and you get served your tea when the guy behind you (who's been hacking up a lung the whole trip) finishes with the teacup.

But Delta, overall, is worse -- they think they have a lock on eastcoast / southeast travel so they treat their customers like cattle.

Great stuff! A mix of the The News Quiz and the Brain of Britain. (I only wish Linda Smith she were still alive to be on it.)

If the Beeb won't keep it going, drop the posh sets and keep this one going straight to the net. Fry, you've done it again.

Kudos!
