    Filling bike tires with helium?

    Got this idea as I was passing Party City and saw the balloons floating in the windows. I immediately looked down at my own front tire... Would this have any beneficial effects, as compared with air? Also, what would be the drawbacks, if any?

    I've always wondered if this was possible.

    Could I get sick by riding my bike next to a busy street?

    No you won't, unless you ride behind a street sweeper. I ride my bike 25 miles a day between Brooklyn and Queens, and my lungs feel best when I'm out on my bike. I've had a cold for the past week, and the only time I didn't sneeze or sniffle was when I was flying down the road at 25 mph :)

    Is it weird to like straight Vodka?

    No, i take a few sips of straight vodka every now and then. Besides, I'm pretty sure Russians guzzle straight vodka all the time. It's a bit of an acquired taste/strength though I think, I damn near knocked myself out the first few times.

    Worst cabin design survey?

    I'd have to go for the 763. The third aisle is a bit awkward, but I always get used to it before the plane leaves the ground. Another awkward cabin design is on the BAE-146, with 2 seats on one side and 3 on the other. I had a ball on the lower deck of a TWA 747 when I was a kid, I don't have...
