stephen fry !

My beloved Stephen Fry was stuck in an elevator (i.e. "caught in the lift" you can thank me later for my highly prized English to English translation skills) but not to worry, he made it out safe and sound. But he twittered the entire ordeal so he had thousands of his followers for company.

Anyway, its curious to see how this silly website (silly because it isn't my first love, Facebook, for shame!) has been in the news a lot recently. Only a couple days ago some crazyass lady twittered during labor and through the birth of her child. I don't even know or want to know how she found time to type while pushin' out a baby. But, Twitter was in the news most prominently, of course, when the plane came down into the Hudson.

Side note: I travel a lot and they're always going on about the little videos about oxygen masks and exits and rafts that I don't pay attention to, but I must admit it's a little disconcerting now how everyone is saying that landing a plane in water is a fucking miracle. I don't like that. I want it to be a guarantee that all of my flights will safely land, otherwise, I will have to ask Chesley Sullenberger, to pilot all my flights from now on.

Anyway, there's Stephen Fry for you and something quite interesting.
