Yay!

About a month ago I swore I saw a zeppelin. My friend thought I was mistaken and that it was just a blimp but the size and dimensions of it made me sure it was a zeppelin.

Well today my entire office just saw it. It is in fact a zeppelin owned by airshipventures and based at Moffet field.

There's even a tracking site for it. Woot.

People telling me I don't see giant airships everywhere. HA!

What is the difference between a blimp and a zeppelin?

How could anyone doubt that dirigibles are stalking you when you say it's so?

Also, I couldn't find on the site what gas is used inside the zeppelin, which would be my first question when deciding whether to travel on one or not, as if I recall correctly, filling a blimp with a combustible gas and then waterproofing it's outside with jet fuel is a bit of a fire hazard.

Well. For starters, 'Zeppelin' is a much cooler word. It's a word crafted out of major awesome and it has a great word score in Scrabble.

Of lesser note, Zeppelins are rigid-body airships whereas blimps are soft-bodied.

i'm definitely going to remember that word. i have about 15 scrabble games going on my iphone..all the with the same person, but more z and q words alway helps.

what sucked is i had "quartz" in two different games. i never get that combo, and then i get them both at once....anddd

i tried to find a place to play, but i gave up after 3 turns of crappy plays.
