Of course poor people never die in private plane crashes because they can only afford commercial flights. In coach. When a private plane crashes from one to 10 rich people die. When a commercial airliner crashes over 100 and up poor people die. But nobody knows their names a week later so we don't remember that. Lots of rock stars were killed in private plane crashes. If I was a rock star I'd get me one of those Willie Nelson style motorcoaches and never leave the ground.
A Pirate Looks at 40. Or Arrrggghh! The Pirate Business Ain't What it Used To Be! http://news.yahoo.com/captain-phillips-strikes-back-off-horn-africa-pirates-120004638.html
The top of the Empire State Building was originally designed as a mooring for zeppelins but the wind made it impossible to use
This August there will be five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays. This only occurs once every 823 years
When I posted that I had just read it in the newspaper. It didn't say whether that applied to August or any other month. Thinking about it I realized that any 31 day month that starts on a Friday would meet that criteria with the 5th Sunday falling on the 31st. I would think that would be pretty common. There are 7 months with 31 days and 7 days in a week. Wouldn't the odds be 1 in 7 for 7 times a year. Any mathematicians know how this can be?
