Strange and suprising things

from Sins Forums

I've found this strange and suprising page:

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/171660-1-megawatt-cold-fusion-power-plant-now-available-yours-for-just-1-5-million

I thought cold fusion was long dead, but apparently it is not and someone actually tries to sell a cold-fusion power plant. Good luck to him finding any buyers.

 

And this, the next step in the search for alien life: long-infra-red.

Not only do they want to search for Dyson spheres around stars, but even around entire galaxies, because those are "easier to find". Good luck to them finding such a Dyson sphere.

@geomanNL, the snakes on the plane were there because they got a group rate.

And Frequent Flyers rates entitling them to fly 1st class at no extra cost... plus 1st class discount on bar items... plus free meals/food items.... with 1st class toilet priveleges to all constrictor snakes above 6 feet.  Yeah, the economy toilets proved to be too cramped on previous flights, hence the upper-class 1st class toilet upgrade.

Frankly, it would bother me, having to fly with snakes who had 1st class bar discounts/priveleges.  I mean, the booze is included in the cost of the 1st class flight, for fech sake, and believe you me, drunken snakes are not easy to be travelling with... especially if they suffer with altitude /air sickness.  Believe me, it's not at all nice, you're sitting there minding your own business and suddenly you feel this slittery thing slittering up yer trouser leg

The worst part of it for me, however, is when they drunkenly decide to join the mile high club.  Now that is an experience nobody wants to endure, not ever.  One minute you're enjoying the in-flight movie and the next you've got some rattler practising foreplay on your finger[s].  Yup, it's about then you wish you'd postponed your vacation a day or three.

No, actually!  I'd wish I were on a Carribean cruise instead... minus the snakes. :grin:

Ah, the Caribbean. Did you know the Dutch still have some "colonies" there? Or well... they're not really colonies anymore I think. Some are independent, and some have got the status of municipalities or something... well anyway we got all this obsession with safety standards and such, and the Netherlands have a large airport near Amsterdam, but despite all this, St Maarten has this strange airfield, which start just beyond the beach. It's really weird.

And my boss, after such a landing of St Maarten, he went to Aruba on a small propellor airplane and the landing there was nerve wrecking because the landing strip starts just beyond a hilll... yes you read this correctly, the plane first has to "jump" over the hill before it can land. And after touchdown it has to hit the brakes or else it'll end up in the water. Perhaps the worst aspect of that trip was that there was a very fat women next to him who was even more scared than him, who squeezed him :) Or maybe it was the tropical cyclone that hit the island, so that he was stuck there for 2 days in a hotel room, with a broken window and a wet floor. Or perhaps the worst was this trip back to the larger airport on St Maarten, on a ferry across the big waves in the aftermath of the cyclone.
