You mean historically? Well....

I endorse this, as well as waiting until the SC has collected the field to dispatch the removal equipment.

I should add that if I do get the dead fish, I don't grip as tightly as I might. Personally, I think you can learn a lot about a person by how they shake hands. There's a lot of character shown in a grip, and perhaps also emotion.

I've read that it's always important in the Western handshake to match gripping power with the shakee. However, if the shakee gives you the dead fish instead of a good grip? What to do? Crush his hand? I usually go ahead and grip anyway. When shaking hands with a woman, though, I always match grip no matter how…

The aircraft in my top image, N344AS, and likely the same one shown being scrapped in Paul's article, had its first flight on Sept. 29, 1989. It was retired on March 25, 2013. I'm sure somebody knows why and when aircraft stop being money-makers.

I may have seen that very same Saudi 744 (still mostly intact) in Roswell when we passed through there in June of last year. I didn't know about that bone yard, and you can imagine my surprise as we drove into town and I saw jumbo rudders sticking up into the air. After dinner, we drove down to the yard and explored…

He's not being taught a lesson. He made a claim that made him a threat to the other passengers, and that threat must be dealt with accordingly. Perhaps it is a lesson, though, because I'm sure he won't do it again.

It's no different than joking about having a bomb. Airlines don't mess around with that, nor should they.

Ebola is the new fake bomb threat.

Thank you for posting this. I'm getting my wife a new blender for Christmas, and had seen this one at Costco. I'm glad to see such a positive review!

You kids and your newfangled toys.

It's only funny because it's absolutely true.

Not Lego. Kre-o, maybe.

I saw an An-124 when I was departing PIT a week ago. That was a first for me. Kind of a pathetic potato-cam picture, but I didn't have time to whip out my telephoto. I didn't know those operated in the States.

Perhaps because zero isn't countable. Or zero means "dead."

Wile E. Coyote would like your phone number.

I don't know, I drive regularly from Austin to Abilene and I see plenty of skunks, and smell more than I see.

If the armadillo is first in Texas, the skunk must be a damned close second.

I found this photo on the Internet. It's not gruesome, Bianchi is in the cockpit being tended to, helmet still on. But it does show that the entire crash hoop has broken away on the Marussia.

I'm in Austin, and that show is on my list. I used to live in Houston, and WOH is one of the best shows I've been to.
