Flying on 3/10 from LAX to SYD. Booked and assigned myself seat 45H way before 3/3. Even after 3/3, appeared that my seat was still 45H. Suddenly today I checked and not only am I out of 45H, I am assigned to a non-E+ window seat instead of my declared preference of aisle (37A). Now I can’t change that seat. I’ve tried to change it myself to 33C and it will not stick even though it...

Ridiculous Concept of the Week →
If you buy a blue pill to get intimate in a bathtub outdoors during sunset, are you going to bitch to NBC about selling you the blue pill when you don’t get to make love in an outdoor bathtub during sunset? No, you bitch to the blue pill company. Or to the other person.

Best Idea of 2011 →
At the Park School just outside of Baltimore, Maryland, 8th grader Chance Williams was having a lot of trouble in Spanish.
At one point, Chance’s father, Jeff, found himself sitting in the principal’s office with the Spanish teacher when a wild idea struck him.
