I wonder how ANYONE can ever understand anything air traffic control is saying. Or the pilots. The audio quality is atrocious whenever I hear a recording like this. In this day and age, is there really nothing better available??

One, this kind is not old enough to know better but...

I would LOVE to see this. Really hope someone has the guts to do this.

Is the tweet genuine? OMG, takes the cake!

Hahah, funnily enough that’s always the biggest risk when flying to America. I hear of people who were turned back simply because somebody thought their name sounded strange.

Don’t know how this works in America, but around here they tell you again and again and again when you book a flight that YOU are PERSONALLY responsible for making sure your travel documents are valid for wherever you’re going and that the airline has nothing to do with that.

The ONLY reason I go to the cinema is because of the big screen (and possibly better sound) than at home. Which is why I cateorically refuse to book tickets for screens with less than 80 square metres size. I can use my plasma TV for that. No need to pay big bucks. Also: sounds cheesy, but 3D is something you can’t…

Uh, I haven’t seen the play but I’m absolutely not convinced this works even in a stage context.

THIS!!!! OMG, SO MUCH!!

First off, Fanfiction is my favourite genre of literature and has been for many years. Most of my all-time favourite authors are fanfiction writers and for some of them, it’s hard to believe that they are not professionals. What a waste! Then there are awful authors...

You do know that a low-carb-diet is basically hijacking your body chemistry, right? The reason it works is that, in order to properly metabolise fat and build up storage, you NEED a certain amount of carbs to provide metabolic building blocks for the molecules in your cellular cycles. If you don’t provide your body…

Word!

I agree. Yumm!!

It’s not a cat. It’s a Tribble. With a tail. ;)

This is utter bullshit. You are confusing mosquitoes with moths. Moths are attracted by light. Mosquitoes are not. They are attracted and guided to their prey by CO2-trails from your respiration, body heat and certain molecules in your sweat. A light source will not attract them. It’s pure coincidence if they…

This is why the world will never truly respect America. How can you, in the face of so much stupidity?

This video does not mean you can’t / shouldn’t eat pork. It just means that there is vast room for improvement in their living conditions. Industrial conditions are just animal cruelty. If all pigs I eat had a life like this, I would not have any qualms whatsoever eating them. As it stands, I go for organic as this is…

The easiest way to get there is to simplify food into three groups - carbs, fat and protein - and calculate with a lot of margin: assume all carbohydrate-heavy foods are made of 100 % carbs (eg. pasta, rice, flour, potatoes, sugar,...) and calculate them with 400 kcal per 100g. Assume all fat-components have 900 kcal…

From what I can tell from the article, there were signs beforehand. If you have plans, one would expect to be on the safe side and not bother turning up in the first place, then. Just go straight ahead to book another.

This seems like one of the most pointless inconveniences for flight passengers ever. If you had bad intentions, would you willingly submit to an extra security check, especially if it’s advertised to you in advance??? Hell no, you’d shell out for another flight where you’re not “randomly selected”. What nonsense!
