Comment Re:Ignore the screams. Nothing to see here. (Score 1) 182

>> suddenly pitches absurdly to the surprise of the pilots.
The pilots of Boeing planes should have a MSBT "Murphy Situational Boeing Training", and should expect that the plane may misbehave badly at any moment.

>> a very worn "If it’s not Boeing, I’m not going!" license plate frame
I think the worn part is the first "not"
"If it’s Boeing, I’m not going!"

Comment Elephants are strictly metric. (Score 1) 41

>> Females are generally over 7 foot, but males 10 to 13 foot, at the shoulder.
Absolutely impossible.
Elephants are not natives of imperial unit countries, so any elephant gets educated by his parents (and the rest of the horde) to use metric.
-> There are only metric elephants.
In this context, the size of an elephant cannot be 7,10 nor 13 foot, but only the metric equivalent...

>> If your car's hood flies off at speed is it the manufacture's fault, or did you just not closed it properly?
For having worked in car design, it is both.
If you are able to half-close it without the warning sound blaring at you, it actually IS a bad design, and the manufacturer is as responsible as the guy who did not close it properly (user or mechanic)
