Remember the scene in Airport (I think 77) where Dean Martin tries to explain to the kid how a star went fron one side of the aircraft to the other, but they didn't do a 180? That's another kind of math we're talking about: spacial math from Uranus.


Actually, that was from the original, classic 'Airport', out in 1970.

Mrs. Schultz: Captain, our son has a question. Schuyler, here's our captain.

Schuyler Schultz: [pointing out the window] Before, Virgo and Leo were right there, sir. Now I'm beginning to see Ursa Minor and Cassiopeia. We MUST be turning around.

Capt. Vernon Demerest: You have a young navigator here! Well, I'll tell you son... Due to a Cetcil wind, Dystor's vectored us into a 360-tarson of slow air traffic. Now we'll maintain this Borden hold until we get the Forta Magnus clearance from Melnics.

Schuyler Schultz: Oh... yes... of course!

Mr. Schultz: What did he mean by that, son?

Schuyler Schultz: Never mind, father, I'll tell you later.
