I recently had to travel by plane, in economy class/coach. :(

It really sucked. I really don't know how overweight people cope in those torture devices that pass for airline seats.

I learned to avoid flying in economy class/coach in future. :?

I can't control what topics pop up in Random Discussion, but I can control the words that I type.

I know, man, it's so cool looking! It's actually called anisocoria and they are not different colors. One eye is more dialated because his friend punched him in the eye while they were fighting over a girl.

I stand corrected. The true story is even more interesting than the one I initially believed (that he was born that way). :o Still, any way you slice it - mismatched eyecolors/pupils = hotness. That's also one reason why I find Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter attractive - they used contact lenses and computer editing to make his eyes unequal (and slightly larger than normal).

*gets back on topic*

I learned that Cary Elwes (Westley from The Princess Bride) also starred in Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
