  1. well that is shocking. OK, well, not that shocking
  2. This is true for all ant species. This fact is not "according to Dr. Debbie Castle." And there is a hot tip for the day: If you are allergic to fire ant stings, carry an epipen. So what else is bullshit, bad science, or shitty journalism in that article?
  3. Poll is bullshit. "Meteor" or "Giant Sinkhole" is not an option.
  4. Who knew trade deals could be so hard?
  5. Of course. He's also going after Columbia because they didn't buy land from him back in the 80s (90s?) when they wanted to expand their campus/open a satellite campus in lower Manhattan. He's also going after Harvard because they didn't accept his cyber-genius son.
  6. Virgin, Emirates any asian airline if you suffer from yellow fever
  7. "Contrails" is a contraction of "condensation trails". They are formed by water vapor in the jet engines' exhaust hitting cold air and condensing around particulate contaminants also in the exhaust. A contrail is literally a long, thin, man-made cloud. If they want to ban contrails, then they either need to ban exhaust from jet engines, or ban cold air at high altitudes. If they are going to ban either of those, I hope it isn't until after a few weeks have passed, as I'm flying to NO in a week.
  8. In your eagerness, you obviously missed the "British Airways" part of the "British Airways" flight attendant. They got some battle axes working on BA.
  9. Maybe they'll all be deported and we won't have to worry about them anymore.
  10. Which ever axis stupidity is on will have to use a logarithmic scale.
  11. What do they have against windows?
  12. who knew it could be so hard?
  13. I have a friend with a small plane. I've ridden in it probably 10 times in 20 years or so. We're both nearing 60, and I've begun to wonder what I would do if he had a massive coronary suddenly I mean if that happened in a car, I could steer from the passenger seat, shift to Neutral, maybe use the emergency brake to slow down.
  14. I think I could handle the cold. The 24 hours of darkness in the winter might get old though.
