Ole Tobias crawled onto the belt next to an unmanned check-in desk Monday, continued unnoticed through a trapdoor along with bags and suitcases about his size, then passed through an X-ray scanner and into the luggage hall. "It was just a moment of inattention and Ole Tobias disappeared," his mother, Ingvild Aakervik, told NRK radio on Tuesday. "I panicked and made the entire airport search for him." She said Ole Tobias was not hurt and seemed to have enjoyed the ride, which ended abruptly when staff at the Aalesund Vigra airport in central Norway noticed the boy in the X-ray machine and pressed the alarm button. I wish I was four years old and could get away with that! --ArtSky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

Now I can't go to DIA and not think of youMay your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

For some reason this reminds me of the Simpson's episode where Mr Burns is having a bunch of medical tests done. He's being put in an MRI machine, and suddenly it says "body jam", and they pull the side panel off and he's stuck in a bunch of rollers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
