Happy Towel Day 122
An anonymous reader writes "While Douglas Adams continues his attempt to set a new record for the longest extended lunch break, geeks all over the universe pay tribute to the beloved author by celebrating the tenth edition of Towel Day. Towel Day is more alive than ever. This year Richard Dawkins, one of Adams' best friends, has tweeted a Towel Day reminder to his numerous followers. The CERN Bulletin has published an article on Towel Day. There has been TV coverage and there will be a radio interview. The Military Republic of the Deltan Imperium, a newly formed micronation, has recognized Towel Day as an official holiday. In Hungary several hundreds of hitchhiker fans want to have a picnic together in a park. And there's a concert, a free downloadable nerdrap album, a free game being released, the list goes on and on."

Comment "Science Fiction for people that hate Science Fict (Score 1) 1021
Edited by Terry Carr (1966) Contains some of the best and most thought provoking short stories of the genre (IMHO) From the moral implications of scientific research (What kind of idiot would give a loaded gun to a retarded child?) to the dichotomy of God & Science. It is filled with truly inspired stories from some of the (then) best SciFi Authors ever. God I wish I still had my copy...

And therein lies the fatal flaw with an all composite commercial airplane, within the first year of flight service some minimum wage baggage handler will drive his forklift/cart/etc. into the aircraft, fearing for his job he'll tell no one, after a few cycles the damage will have spread far enough to become catastrophic, at which point the 787 will become Boeing's "Comet".
A much better choice would have been a hybrid with Al for the lower body and composites for the rest...
