Perhaps the silly question of the day (of course we are, that’s one reason we visit Flyer Talk), but still interesting nonetheless.  While the quiz is in Priority Club forum, really it could be in any of the points and miles forums with just a minor change.

The 10th Anniversary Celebration of FlyerTalk continues!

FlyerTalk member YYC-OPS is generously giving away an all-expense-paid Alaskan cruise, including butler service, to one lucky FlyerTalk member.

To find out how to enter, as well as find out all of the details regarding this cruise giveaway, please click here. Hurry, however - you only have until September 3, 2008.

No, the Construction in my room! thread is not about going to bed and sleeping with construction workers in your hotel room - but some FlyerTalk members seem to feel that what happened to FlyerTalk member JamesTheRod is almost as bad.

JamesTheRod found two construction workers in his room working. “So, I just got back to my hotel room this afternoon to find two workers in my room. They had cut a hole in the drywall in the closet and seemed to be installing an access panel of some type, and installing bifold doors on the closet. I did get back to the room early in the afternoon, but don’t you think they could do this when the room is unoccupied? Their tools and stuff were all over the place, and I felt very odd just sitting in my room eating my lunch while they were working. Has anybody else encountered this type of situation?”

That is a good question: have you encountered this type of situation? If so, what did you do? If not, what would you do?

Imagine staying two nights in Jordan and earning a free night for your next trip to Aruba. Those two nights you spent in Auckland earned you a free night in Hawai’i.

Find out all of the details in the FFN - earn 9/1 to 12/30/2008 - Now Official - Complete T&Cs and FAQs in First Post thread on how to earn a free night after every two stays at Hyatt Hotels properties worldwide.

Of course, you can earn your Hyatt Gold Passport points on paid stays as usual during this promotion.

This popular promotion is back, but only for a limited time. Ensure that you are registered for this promotion.

I have stayed in Hyatt Hotels properties in places such as Kauai and Auckland and have thoroughly enjoyed my stays. The Faster Free Nights promotion sweetens the deal.

If nothing else, the Freeze dried jellyfish thru security? thread should be good for a laugh.

How many ways are there to lose a cellphone while travelling?  Lots, and most of them are funny.

FlyerTalk Quote of the Day is not exactly a regular feature of The Gate, but this quote which was posted today on FlyerTalk was simply too good to pass up:

“Since I would rather normally drink horse urine than the wine they serve in the lounge and would normally walk over hot coals to avoid buffet this posed an interesting dilemma.”

Who said this, and why? Find out here.

FlyerTalk member Land-of-Miles is unsure about whether to be ecstatic or furious when mentioning the Unusual Situation @ Hilton BKK Should I Be Pleased or Annoyed?

It seems that the Millennium Hilton Bangkok hotel property found the wallet of Land-of-Miles which was originally lost in - or left in the safe of - the hotel room of Land-of-Miles. Even though the hotel found the wallet and had the full contact details of Land-of-Miles, the hotel never contacted Land-of-Miles throughout the two years it held onto the Mulberry wallet, complete with contents intact.

How would you feel if you experienced what Land-of-Miles experienced? Would you be happy or angry - or both?!?

What do you do if you’ve been charged $2500 but your receipt says fare + taxes are one fifteenth that amount?  Check it out here.

You read the title correctly.

We are not discussing caviar, Kobe beef, lobster or any other expensive food or delicacy. We are discussing ham.

Apparently, the type of ham about which FlyerTalk member anaggie is raving in the OH MY GOD !!! Jamon Iberico Pata Negra !!! thread is not just any kind of ham. “All I have got to say is WOW !!! I just tasted ONE slice and ended up buying 1/2 a pound at $185/lb.,” says anaggie. This stuff just melts in your mouth and you cannot stop eating. Is there anyplace online that sells it cheaper? Just a bit?”

I do not eat ham and have never heard of the type of ham being discussed in the OH MY GOD !!! Jamon Iberico Pata Negra !!! thread, but now the search is on for this special ham that either costs the least, tastes the best - or combines the best compromise of both, if that is possible. If you are interested, join in on the search, find out where to purchase it, or relate your gastronomic experience with this delicacy if you have one to share.

Regardless, US$185 per pound is an awful lot of bread to pay for ham…
