Coffee, Tea, or Possible All-Crew Orgy?

A Northwest flight mysteriously over shot the Minneapolis airport by 150 miles, continuing into Wisconsin as 78 minutes of radio silence caused the FAA to ready fighter jets in Madison. Investigators suspect that the pilots may have fallen asleep, but really -- EVERYONE fell asleep at the same time? I'm thinking that the entire crew was otherwise occupied. The only other explanation is that Wisconsin is just that alluring. (I write this as a Wisconsinite.) The plane succumbed to our siren song.
