In response, Rhiannon admitted that she's *never* gotten stuck on the elevator, which apparently dooms her to some sort of elevator-related malfunction in the not-too-distant future (sorry about that!). Uh oh. Brings to mind the elevator scene in one of my favorite movies (which had a dual theatre and also tv release, so gets both credits..), "Paper Man", 1971 [a]. Yes, with Tina Chen, Stefanie Powers, and some others. There's a scene where one of the students is trapped in an elevator stuck between floors, and he decides to force the doors open and, well, gets halfway out... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_Man_(1971_film)
Jinxes at WNN, or "Stairy, Stairy Night"

Any other jinxes that WNN has been prone to? My favorite (a good jinx?) is probably the Saga of the Right Chair, where, if that anchor leaves, she's likely to have a *baby* before long. ESPECIALLY if she protests, "I'm not pregnant!", during her sendoff :-). -Doug Elrod (d...@cornell.edu) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
