And I've checked in, and have just to tidy up a few loose ends at work.

Quote of the experience, "Passenger bags may not contain: gases".

ETA: And any lingering tweaks to my code are also checked in.

This reminds me of a story about a scientist who had to fill in a form for a safety inspector. The problem was the form wanted to know exactly which hazardous substance was inside the vacuum chamber. IIRC the scientist spent quite some time trying to explain what a vacuum was (before he inevitably gave up).

ROFL. That's great.

You'd think you could just say "it contains hazardous vacuum", which is close enough, and not disillusion the inspector if he wants to think that's a substance.. :)

That has to be my favourite anecdote about vacuum chambers and idiot safety reps.

Ah! Thank you very much. That's hilarious. And depressingly, I can just imagine it.
