the litvenenko connection

well, my mother and sister are currently flying over the middle of the united states, on their way to london to visit me. yesterday i was talking to my mom, trying to find out the details of the flight and the hotel they booked, and she gave me the name of the hotel they were staying at. as it turns out, the hotel is called "millennium hotel" which is located in london's posh mayfair area. the hotel is a lovely hotel, i have to admit. however, i had this strange feeling as i glanced through the hotel's website. suddenly i saw it...the hotel has a sushi bar. i turned to carl and said, "wasn't that the hotel where litvenenko was poisoned?" he said, "i don't know. check google." i searched the news articles and found that i was right. my family is staying at the hotel where not just one person was poisoned, but at least 10 people were poisoned. how lovely. i guess i should warn her against drinking the water. i told carl they should ask for a discount since it's a health risk being there!!

so...as for six degrees of separation go....
