I just had three stowaways on my flight this week.  They were only discovered once the plane finally ran out of seats.  But they at least did it the safe way. Much like Helen Hayes endearing role in the movie Airport (not to be confused with the movie Airplane!) But a man is in …

I Interviewed Amazon Echo’s Alexa about Jar Jar Binks.  Here’s what she said.

I had the opportunity to learn about (and taste) American Airlines new first class menu offerings on Monday in Dallas.  Everything tasted slightly salty to me, but I’ll caveat that with two things:  1. I don’t tend to put much salt on food & 2.  We are on the ground. …

El Al Airlines previously required female flight attendants to wear heels when in the airport, but they were able to switch to flats once they were on an aircraft. This policy is changing, according to Mashable: “The company revises its service protocols regularly and it was decided in that framework …

Well, technically Han shot.  Period.  Because Greedo didn’t really have a chance to shoot back. But two different instances this week have solidified what Star Wars fans knew all along.  Questionable morals are part of Han’s roguish charm.
