Better - A Wanderlust about one's honeymoon on the 10 hr flight from hell. It's true that if you can stand a bad (long) flight with your potential spouse you are fairly well set up to get married.

In fact, after years of flying overseas to Europe and Asia and 100s of hrs flying no one has ever been as bad as British Airways.
Don't like cookies? Like to be a bit silly? Try cookiepecker.pl a little perl script which slowly makes a random hash of your cookes file. This version is the unix port, but, it's trivial to make it run on a mac or Windows box.
