	Having read the same ad repeated on a recent flight, and noticing
that the entire still seems to be about 15" high, my best guess is that
the Advertising/Sales department never checked with the Legal 
department.

	My assumption is that they're selling this as a "display only"
or art piece, not as a usable item.  Heck, I set up more complex
distillation rigs in my college chemistry labs.
