    I guess that I worry about things like this but I'd suggest that there either be a very specific shipping protocol for this thing or a special shipping container that ensures it's safe transit. I'm sure a couple of dents and scratches might give it character but I'd worry about it staying intact.

    Well, if this thing travels westward, it must sooner or later run out of North America (and Hawaii). Then there is New Zealand (which if I recall aright is a bit east of Japan), and after that Australia . . . and then there’s the Indian Ocean . . .
    This is beginning to get very interesting indeed.

    No, I'm pretty sure that the last words were something like "damn, I'm hungry".

    ...Bearing in mind that the direction of the quaich's travel was made as a suggestion -- not a requirement...

    Best not to get caught up in dissecting minutes and seconds of longitude over a token of goodwill and friendship...
