In unrelated news

I just read that UPS saves millions of dollars a year in fuel because they no longer calculate their routes by the shortest distance. Instead they find the route with the fewest left turns! Apparently sitting in left turn lanes, idling the engine, is worse than going several blocks out of their way. That’s amazing.
Did you also know that it will only cost $200,000.00 to go up into space in the nine passenger Spaceship2 built by Burt Rutan – in just two years time! I might not sell my house for that, but if I won the lottery that would be expense numero uno…

Those two things have very little to do with each other.
