Weird oddness

[gnomi]

...or is that "odd weirdness"? Anyway, whichever it is:

Looking up one's parents' flight information and realizing that their flight number is remarkably like the number of a course I took in college.

OK, yeah, so I'm a dork. But, y'know, Swissair flights have LX beginnings, and all the Linguistics classes at BU (like this one) had LX beginnings, and so...there you have it.

No, my parents aren't on the Morphology flight. This is likely a good thing.

Though one could say they're on a transitive flight...or a flight having to do with syntactic movement...or undergoing a Great Vowel Shift...Or some such.

See above re Dork. :-)

I don't think I've said it recently enough: I am madly in love with your linguistic geekery.
