I think that was actually a result of the SLI battle. A copyright issue I think. Apparently "Brontosaurus" was one of the terms the North guys tried to apply to the 747 only to find that the South guys already had it trademarked for the 777.
How is that for non-partisan jesting?

I'm sorry. I thought the 88 had VNAV. You guys have to figure your crossing restrictions 3:1, too?
I forgot to mention, no printer either.
But, we do have those cool shades for the windows.

...And now for something completely different....
Before we break out into a full scale "My 747 is bigger than your 777" war, here's something to worry about on your next domestic layover in the hotel:
(my bolding on all the Delta bases)
So if you've got that 0430 wake-up tomorrow for the early van, wrap yourself up in those Hotel sheets....Sleep tight and don't the the BedBugs bite!

I just broke out in a serious scratching frenzy. Sort of akin to the old days trying to get some crew rest in some Navy BOQ somewhere where who knows what was crawling around inside the sheets. Yep, living the dream!

The 88 has VNAV, but it may or may not decide it's worth making the crossing restriction when you want it to. Sometimes the hamster falls off the wheel or simply trips and just starts spinning round and round with it.
It's thte least they could do to keep the airplane as manly as possible when they had to give up the ghost and put some glass in there.
"FINE. We'll put the glass in there, but it may or may not do your bidding. You'll find out. And by the way, it talks to you in a robotic female voice, too. Go ahead and try not to get turned on, we dare ya."

Yes. But, for your TV show I think we should make sure you guys look as different as possible. It's all about ratings and chicks dig the contrast. 1 Blonde, 1 Brunette. Or, 1 fat, 1 skinny. 1 Carl, 1 Alpha.
Otherwise, people will confuse you like: Sailingfun and Slowplay. Nu Guy and New K, Pinneappleguy and Hawaii50, etc., and people won't remember who said what.
