One of the newest products to Kickstarter is Sharknado: the Board Game. The first thing that stands out to me is a list of quotes from reviewers on the Kickstarter page. True to Sharknado style, they included the review of someone who simply wrote, “Why?” I’m excited though, because if you’ve …

Sometimes the DC to Philadelphia flight feels like it’s the shortest flight in the world.  By the time you make it to cruising altitude, the descent starts.  But that’s not the world’s shortest commercial flight–by far.
