Just as an aside..
One thing that always amuses me is the number of times I hear a airline report severe turbulance over the Atlantic. I think a lot of pilots need to review the definition of severe turbulance. In addition anytime you state you have encountered severe turbulance a logbook entry is required and a aircraft inspection which can be quite lengthy is required. This step seems to be skipped quite often.
