   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhy would they send it to their family?

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBecause he's a hit. A hit is when strangers love something enough to pass it around. He's Captain William now, and that's the whole nickname.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe verdict is ten out of ten. The flight's destination was Mobile, and he said he was mostly looking forward to the experience.
