- I was invited to one of those recently. I was not offended. -- nm - nubby Apr 30, 10:41
- no, lots of folksget married in a judge's chamber or little chapel, besides if religious why bore the guests to death with some exotic cult thing - zeitgeist Apr 30, 10:39
- No, but having it the same day almost seems to defeat the purpose to me. -- nm - Ender Apr 30, 10:37
- We did something like that. Had a super small immediate family only wedding and then a month later had a formal reception. - Shaun Apr 30, 10:36

Why would you need to turn your ipod off before takeoff? -- nm - J Apr 30, 10:28 28
- There is a school of thought that electronic equipment could interfere with aircraft communication and signaling equipmenet. - ty97 Apr 30, 10:44
- so a terrorist can't trigger a bomb in the baggage compartment from his seat while the plane is over a populated area -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 30, 10:42 2
  - Exactly. Once a flight attendant tells a terrorist to turn his iPod off, how can he detonate a bomb in the cargo hold? - Guigue Apr 30, 10:46 1
    - it's foolproof. -- nm - Reagen Apr 30, 10:48

    - over/under on how many extra games Goodell gives his suspension? -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:33 1

  - I've seen people refuse quietly and get booted. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 10:32
- The party line is that would interefere with instruments, which I've never believed. - Reagen Apr 30, 10:30 2
  - They really got past that years ago, at this point those types of rules are there more for courtesy than anything else. -- nm - Ender Apr 30, 10:39
  - They check it on Mythbusters, and their answer was "Probably not, but it's possible" -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 10:31

  - IIRC that is in-fact why it's all inclusive -- nm - scorpion Apr 30, 10:31 1
    - these days it's "anything with an on-off switch must be turned off" to avoid confusion. -- nm - znufrii Apr 30, 10:40
- because it's the rules. all electronic devices must be turned off and stowed until after takeoff -- nm - znufrii Apr 30, 10:29 7
  - ah ok, i've never flown so i've never heard the rules - J Apr 30, 10:33 5
    - you realize takeoff is like 15 minutes right? why chance it? -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:34 3
      - I think he meant that he hasn't flown must change. (nm) - musubi Apr 30, 10:36 2
        
        exactly -- nm - J Apr 30, 10:37 1
        
        ahh my bad. Flying is fun! :) -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:37
    - *blink* - znufrii Apr 30, 10:34
  - ayup -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 30, 10:29
- "please turn pff all electronics as they may affect the plane's instrument during takeoff" -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:29
