Re: "InterRail"
Let me know when the Old and New Worlds are all connected via rail. I'm scared to death of heights and would really prefer not to fly if there's another option available.
I can hear all the stat monkeys telling me now that flying is more safe than driving. Yeah, because being pressure-locked inside of an oversized tuna fish can with wings which is filled with the most potent, flammable liquid known to man and expected to fly miles above the planet is safe. Somehow I don't think it's what Orville and Wilbur had in mind.
