41 Hours

In October of 1999, Nicholas White, a Production Manager at Business Week magazine, went out for a smoke break, and, on his return to the office, got into the slowest express elevator ever: he ended up being stuck for 41 hours.

What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator for 41 hours? Personally, I'm not sure I'd survive.

I'd hope that I'd do something like Tex and just fall asleep.

But I sense that I'd lose my mind like Ted. :)

If I was with at least one other person I'd be fine - especially if that person was freaking out and I knew I had to be the 'strong' one.

Becks, have you seen this:

SO well done. Copies of it should be printed and hug about all over town.

Technology DOES hate me.

It's under the opinion/oped section at Boston.com and it's a really well written piece about why feminists should vote for Obama over McCain.

For me the biggest problem would be food. After about 5 or 6 hours I'd be starving. 41 hours? I might start eating the plastic off the walls. (And of course, other bodily functions would be necessary at some point.)

Sleeping is a great option, but only for so long. Leave it to Bob to think of it is as just a free few hours for music. :)
