How to avoid plane crashes and STDs
another interesting article from japantoday....
haha... dun ask me why they lump the 2 subjects together in one article... are they supposed to have similiarities other than "how to avoid"?? hehe...
take trains rather than planes... (yi san, wise choice ;p)... and guys, forget about cuba airlines and china airlines...
If you must fly, choose your airline carefully. Spa!, basing itself on fatal accident statistics, claims ANA is six times as safe as JAL, Delta nearly twice as safe as Northwest, and as for Cuba Airlines, forget it, it's the most dangerous on Spa!'s list of 16, followed by Taiwan's China Airlines.
the interesting portion is actually at the sex portion (as ever)... hehe.. not so much interesting as it is funny ;p
Sex, once associated primarily with reproduction, more recently with pleasure, more recently still with disease, is an increasingly wide battleground for the opposing forces of good and bad luck.
"I don't believe it... Chlamidya is more widespread than flu. Among girls in their late teens and early 20s, one in every 10-15 is infected."
The more partners you have, the more vulnerable you are. Interestingly enough, adds Nomoto, citing his survey of nursing students, the more partners you have, the less vulnerable you tend to "think" you are. The conclusion is inescapable: the more sex you have, the less you know about sex. Use condoms, Nomoto stresses, and increase your luck.
haha the reporter who wrote this got good sense of humor... Nomoto too ;p "use condom to increase your luck" hehe.. what a way to put it... ;p
notice that his survey was conducted on nursing students... hmmm... nurses, doctors, pharmacists, expert on this issue?? hmmmm... ;p
some interesting and farnee comments in the comments block too... ;p
Interesting trivia, although the "good luck" angle seems weak. Han Solo makes his own luck; Kenobi says no such thing exists.

The way to avoid STD is to fly frequently on Cuban Airline and China Airline.

All too rarely, flight attendants make an effort to make the in-flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported by passengers:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane"
"Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."
"Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."
"Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 245 to Sacramento. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."
"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite." Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines." "As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses." And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"
"That was quite a bump, and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt."
"We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
"We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of US Airways."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. So, sit back and relax ... OH, MY GOD!" Silence followed. After a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" A passenger in Coach yelled out, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!!"
