another plane crash... 150 dead
Click to expand...

An old Spencer Tracy movie is the first thing I thought of. It's how my free association brain works.

Alps + plane crash = The Mountain and Spencer Tracy.

When a passenger plane crashes near the top of Mont Blanc in the French Alps, greedy Christopher Teller (Wagner) decides to go and rob the dead. However, he has no hope of getting to the crash site without the help of his older brother Zachary (Tracy), a highly skilled mountain climber. Zachary wants to leave the dead in peace, but Chris hounds him until he finally gives in.

When they reach the downed plane, they find one badly injured survivor, an Indian woman. Chris wants to leave her there to die, but Zachary insists on bringing her down the mountain.

On the descent, Chris, ignoring Zachary's warning, tries to cross an unsafe snow bridge and falls to his death. When Zachary gets the woman to his village, he tells everyone that he went up the mountain to rob the plane and forced his brother to go with him, but his friends know better.

Spencer is of course the good older brother trying to save his little bro from himself. Robert Wagner plays the worst person in the world.

The recipe I posted yesterday was pretty good, I served it with some pasta. Don't hsve time to list meal ideas now, maybe later. We are having meatballs in a white sauce over rice one day this week and pork quesadillas with some leftover pork I have in the freezer from a pork carnitas recipe.

You mean if you're involved in a place crash and a car crash, the chances of dying are exponentially higher in the plane crash? That's probably true, however the restrictive licensing procedures, and technological advancements in commercial flights mean that the chance of being involved in a plane crash are statistically much lower, so in the end, overall, it's safer. Yes, if you're one of the unlucky ones to be in a plane crash, the chances of dying are greater, but here's some data...lists 'fatal or significant US airline events' (criteria for what's included are listed on page)...and 4 'page down' hits and you're back to 2010....and that's including things that are 'significant' (cabin depressurization) but not fatal.

Cabin depressurization was fatal to that golf guy in his private jet. I get what you are saying about accident rates. Falling never hurts anyone it's how you stop that can mess you up. Life is full of risks you just never know when your time is up.
 
Just had a former co-worker endorse me on LinkedIn for my Catia skills. If only I had experience with it...

I've had that happen before. Just because I'm in ag doesn't mean I'm a vet. Don't endorse me for my veterinary skills.
 
I haven't been on in a bit because yesterday was I.S. Monday (the day our thesis are due and it's a giant party), but NWICY, I liked the joke about the bagpiper

Meh, Russian mafia is already on that one.

Here's one for you, Swedish Dog Nannies. I am old with no kids but I would get a dog is I could hire a nice reasonably priced and trustworthy Swedish Dog Nanny to take care of the basenji's I would buy. You could broker these deals and take a nice commission all the while meeting nice Swedish gals.

Winning!
 
Pantsy just turn around and walk out for a bit.

So last night our wonderful 5 week old son both spit up everything he had just eaten into my wife's hand as well as pooped in her hand just before getting put into the bath.

Then I wake up this morning and she says "by the way L peed on you last night." She explained that while changing him in our bed in the middle of the night he apparently was not done and did the whole fountain thing on to me for a very brief second before she covered the hose. If she had not told me I would have never known.
