13. Surprisingly, no
My stomach is horrible, but I've never had a mishap on a plane.

I have, however, had an episode of "explosive diarrhea" on a plane -- the lavatories came in handy for me, if not anybody else on the plane.

16. Probably not
All I had was a bag of peanuts while on the plane. :shrug:

It was probably what I had before the flight, though, as I thought my stomach would explode as soon as the plane got into the air.

20. Same general location as this trip, actually
From Chicago to Florida -- then, Ft. Myers, now Ft. Lauderdale or thereabouts.

25. Yankees fan since I could think
Picked up a Marlins hat in 1993, and they've been my teams since. I was happy this past October :).

Hey, you couldn't lose in October. Who do you think will win the Series this year?

28. Oakland
If anybody in the league has a chance to go 1998 Yanks on the league, it's the A's. Their offense isn't as bad as they were last year, and the pitching staff can only be better now that they no longer have the Black Hole of Losses as their collective #5 starter (not that W-L record for a pitcher means that much).

35. I used to be a football fan
But I think the NFL is boring now. The salary cap ruined that sport, sadly. Baseball is the only sport I follow seriously now.

36. I think high salaries have ruined all of professional sports
That's why I love college basketball and football.

12. You mean where I am now, or where I'm going?
Right now: 40s, a little cloudy I guess, but not bad
Where I'm going: 70s-80s, probably raining a lot.

17. how is it like at the university with most people gone?
Just asking because I got invited to an US university and am wondering how it will be like in the dorm. My understanding is that no lectures will take place during the time (in my case: first half of April) and that most students will be absent.

19. Depends on the school, of course
University of Chicago: silent. Or almost silent. Although I think I just heard a marching band pass by my window...
