Random Thoughts or Whatever

Shartnado !

Butt seriously, the article claims the passenger crapped up the plane pretty much from nose to tail, If this is even remotely true I don't know who I feel worse for, the poor other passengers trapped in such a literal mess, or the poor ground crew that had to clean the plane :yikes:

What if it was a contagious bug? Imagine passengers caught it and pass on to the general population. It will probably be named "Rocket Blast 19" or may be "Fire Hose 19".

In all seriousness, you bring up a very sobering point about that story..... What if that passenger had Ebola, doesn't that start with explosive bunz and just get worse from there? :yikes:

In fact, I think that random thought deserves a double eek :yikes::yikes:

You just reminded me of a Fringe episode.
 
Southern Africa’s elephant population is estimated at 227,900, according to the results of the first-ever aerial survey done which spans across five nations. That’s up 5% from the previous estimates, which put it at 216,970, in 2016.
 
A microphone intended to record crowd sounds for “Rock and Roll Animal” failed, so they dubbed in applause and cheers from a live performance by … John Denver.

“We knew we were doing something extraordinarily different and later people would say that ‘Sunshine Superman’ was the initiator not only of the psychedelic era but laid the groundwork for a lot of bands, especially the Beatles, to do exactly what they would like, with no qualms about it….Linda and I were in the car, and the car radio was on really quietly and you know how people are influenced by my music? I said, ‘Hey, listen to that. It’s another band that was influenced by what we did.’ And she said, “Don’t be stupid, Don. That is you!’ It was ‘Sunshine Superman,’ and I was listening to it at such a low level that all I could hear was the essence of the track and all I could think was here’s someone who has lifted the essence of ‘Superman’ and made a wonderful new record themselves.”

“All day long this man would toil thus, his whole being centered upon the purpose of making twenty-three instead of twenty-two and a half cents an hour; and then his product would be reckoned up by the census taker, and jubilant captains of industry would boast of it in their banquet halls, telling how our workers are nearly twice as efficient as those of any other country. If we are the greatest nation the sun ever shone upon, it would seem to be mainly because we have been able to goad our wage-earners to this pitch of frenzy.”

Suicide by firearms claims 25,000 American lives every year, a rate that is 12 times higher than other high-income nations.

What really irks me is...that in my country, they include this sad solitary event into the TOTAL statistics, and express it as a gun crime. Which technically it is, but is 80% of the total "gun crime" assessment is by suicide!

I can think of five gunshot suicides at least in my overlapping circles, three close of which one very close.
From where is the 80%? I suspect a number may not be reported as such, but as simply sudden deaths. The crime associated shootings seem to get most of the notice.
