Austrian Airlines, procedural skittishness and hamsters on a plane. A single hamster, actually. The key graph: "Austrian Airlines said the jet would remain grounded until the hamster was found 'because it can't take off that way for safety reasons.'"

Sounds like the setup for a joke about bizarro sexual practices in the airplane lavatory. We're waiting for the punchline about where they found the hamster.

Or else it's the setup for another Bush/Blair terror alert. As long as I am preznit I promise to shred the constitution to protect the Amurken people from terrorist hamsters gnawing through the electrical wiring of our airplanes.
