Planes, Jet Lag and it's Effects...

A French woman has admitted attempting to open an airplane door mid-flight so that she could smoke a cigarette.

So this lady, Sandrine Helene Sellies aged 34 is scared of flying. So on her journey from Hong Kong to Brisbane for a 3 week holiday in Australia she pops a few sleeping pills, drink some alcohol where after she is seen walking towards one of the planes door with an unlit cigarette and a lighter.

This is the best part! Lady Sandrine began tempering with the emergency exit until she is stopped by a flight attendant. When asked, she said she wanted to go out for a smoke!? Her defence lawyer said that lady Sandrine had no memory of what had transpired on the flight claiming she had a history of sleepwalking

This makes me wonder If any of those unexplained air accidents in the past had anything to do with “sleep walking” individuals.

Please for the love of God, life and all that is beautiful, sleeping pills and alcohol don’t mix!!

Another air related accident happened during G.W bush’s news conference at hotel in Beijing.

After answering only six questions Bush decided he had enough and made for the exit. After tugging at both door handles to no effect President Bush laughed and admitted “I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn’t work”.

What was Bush attempting to escape from? well Mr Bush answered a range of questions before one reporter asked: "Respectfully, sir - you know we're always respectful - in your statement this morning with President Hu, you seemed a little off your game ( like that’s  a new surprise ) , you seemed to hurry through your statement. There was a lack of enthusiasm. Was something bothering you?"

The president answered: "Have you ever heard of jet lag? Well, good. That answers your question." That is when President Bush decided to bolt for the child proof door. *grin*  Ok it wasn’t a child proof door but come on President Bush is it so hard to exit the way you came in?!

An aide escorted him to the correct exit and on to dinner at the Great Hall of the People.

Whats your's?

The Friend Network

Friendster; what an idea, and what a revolution it has started in how we keep in touch with our friends and loved ones. Type friend network on any search engine today and you will get loads of links from "My Space" to Malaysia's own "Kawanster".

It's a craze that millions of people around the world have taken to ritualistically. From a need to keep in touch with every individual we've bumped into, comparing "friend list" to use as bragging rights against other peoples "friend list", to a need to fill any insecurity one might have by getting as many people on ones list just to feel part of something. Then of course you just have the guys out there who just want to get as many pretty girls on their list with this machonismo fantasy of boning them all.

On the other hand, if there are any girls out there who have a fantasy of boning guys on their friend networks, just pass me your contact number in the comment box.

ahem..ahem..Anyway....

On normal days I consider Friendster a distraction. ( cause whether we like to admit it or not their is a satisfaction one gets from being recognized and liked as a friend ) Opening Friendster every few days in hope that someone has left me a cool or warm testimonial is one of the main reasons I'm still on friendster.

But today is different. Days like today remind me what friendster is at it's core and purest form. I bumped into a friend yesterday that I've not seen in 6 years. He had friendster, I had friendster and with that a chain reaction has started that has resulted in me getting back with six other friends that I've not seen in years. Getting back with friends from the past is one of the simple joys in life.

Today friendster proved it's worth for all the office hours lost on waiting for my next big testimonial.

*grin*

and the great words of wisdom I've come across today is :

"Warning : Dates on calender are closer than they appear"
