So remember when I was stuck in Houston for a few days after SXSW and my father-in-law took me "up" in a an EMB 145 flight simulator and I posted a video of him putting the plane into a stall at 25,000 feet and I laughed like a stoned idiot?  Well it turns out my time in the sim was worth quite a lot.

My friend Joe just sent me a link to an ebay auction for charity.  United Airlines is auctioning off a 2-hour guided flight simulator tour (2 hours is about how much time Larry and I spent in the sim) to the highest bidder to benefit the American Cancer Society.  The winning bidder will also get two round trip tickets to Denver.  The current bid?  $7,700.  Bidding closes on Tax Day.
