I guess the senior execs on the plane didn't have time to unbutton their zip to ensure they got in the Guinness book of records.

"Here at El Reg if you last three hours without skiving off down the pub you're rewarded with a trip to the local. ®"

2 questions:

1. where do apply?

2. what are your contingency pans for the extremely unlikely event that someone actually manages it and you are forced to give them the promised reward? do you have insurance to cover that eventuality?
