I made a new poll because William Daniels rocks the house.
Please vote in it while I'm away.
I'll be back in a few days if nothing untoward happens.
Untoward = brain aneurysm from riding one of those new-fangled LIM roller coasters that shoot you out of the station at rocket speed
We did a book at work on roller coasters and now I'm torn between the desire to ride one of these new twisty thrill rides and the fear of having fatal blood clots shaken into life in my cranium.
The best anecdote I came across during the research for this book, however, had to be the time some roller coaster workers found a glass eye on the ground that had been whipped out of someone's face by the force of the ride. :thumbs up:
