I want to go but the problem is, I live on  the other side of the globe.....
Maybe the idea from the comic books of digging a hole in Malaysia  till it
emerge in San Diago can become handy.

My friends when I was at the University used to use those kind of ideas to avoid
taking final exam (as it will considered as incomplete and not counted in the
CGPA) if they feel that they cannot pass the paper (the final exam carries about
60% of the final grade in most Malaysian University).  Some used the tobacco
water to be put into their eyes so that it will appears red and they can be
declared sick and unfit to take the final exam.

Anyway, that was a great idea, Gary.
