I recall some years back when I was supposed to have a very minor role to play in a pre-game show at a college football stadium (~80,000 spectators), and in the planning process we were talking about having a big release of helium-filled balloons. In the room at that time were representatives of the environmental community who reacted in horror, and we ended up not doing it. Apparently when those colorful balloons get soft and come down, they get eaten by birds, who end up choking to death on them.
A bit like the model time machine in the original film. It disappeared during its initial demonstration. Monty needed more witnesses, and another copy.

When last spotted, the paper airplane was over Cincinnati.

He should be proud. Mine always did loop-de-loops and crashed 2 feet in front of me.

Wow! I am impressed!
Could you share how you folded that airplane with us less scholarly types, Dr. Monty?

Yup—I made the occasional paper airplane back in the day.
Fine. I was pretty obsessed. Hey—there are worse things in life …
