“I’ve been a very naughty boy” – Pilot Snorted Coke off Topless Woman’s Chest before Trying to Fly
British Airways pilot Mike Beaton had a night off for “downtime” in Johannesburg before he was scheduled to co-pilot a return flight to London four weeks ago. In his text messages to a flight attendant pal, Beaton said he had met two local men, a Welsh woman on vacation and a “young Spanish bird” at a Johannesburg nightclub. “I’ve been a very naughty boy,” he told her.
After hours of drinking, the group staggered to a hotel bar for a nightcap before they ended up at one of the local men’s apartments. “Welsh has decided that I should actually be her boyfriend — Spanish has hooked up with one of the two local lads and is having her t–s sucked on their sofa,” he said. The “girls” were dancing topless when the cocaine arrived, Beaton bragged. “I’ve lost my shirt somewhere and one of the local lads produces a plate with a few lines of coke,” he wrote. “So then there’s a debate about whose chest is the best to do a bump off.” “That’s the story of how I ended up snorting coke off a girl’s t–s in Joburg,” he gleefully gloated. “Stayed the night with Welsh, sh– her for ages (I guess the coke played a part),” he continued, “and then was so f–ked I couldn’t even lift my head until gone 2.” When he tried to fly the following day, the crew member reported the pilot’s alarming night to superiors, who canceled the 12-hour flight to Heathrow Airport, costing British Airways roughly $120,000, according to the outlet. Beaton was suspended and flown home as a passenger the following day. He was drug-tested at the airport — which he failed — and was subsequently fired.

Bid Now, Win a Piece of ‘Legend’ History: Auction for A-Basin Pali Lift Chairs Underway

"MisHum, what would you do with that?"
"Who are you, The Fabulous?"
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A recent Make-A-Wish visit by members of the Insane Clown Posse, to survivors of what the media is calling “The Great Tallahassee Airshow Disaster,” left the city’s General Hospital’s intensive care unit an absolute biome of infectious diseases, which had to be re-sterilized, sources who are normally used to this kind of thing confirmed. “After that terrible accident, we really thought the survivors could use some cheering up — and who would be better to cheer up some newly limbless Flordians than ICP!” explained attending physician Gloria Kerwald. “But between the Faygo spray, grease paint smears and near-solid smog of fecal mist those guys swarmed through here with, it may just be easier to tear the whole building down and rebuild from scratch. If anything it’d be cheaper than the alternative.” Insane Clown Posse member Violent J commented on the recent visit, which has reportedly left the local hospital’s ICU “in a state so foul it would make God himself want to sterilize heaven out of pure fear.”
How to destroy your friends and family in 4 popular board games
With these tricks, you'll be unstoppable. Whether it’s bankrupting your family in Monopoly or securing the last victory point against your buddies in Settlers of Catan, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of board-game triumph. We’ve collected experts’ best tips and tricks of the best board games, so you can dominate every time. MONOPOLY
Most players forget the real goal of this game: It’s not to become rich. Instead, you must bankrupt your opponents before they wipe you out. Brian Valentine, who placed third at the 2015 World Monopoly Championship, recommends going all in on the orange properties. From jail, a rival’s dice toss of six or eight—statistically among the most likely rolls—puts them smack in the middle of this real estate. This makes these amber gems some of the most lucrative on the block.

Nice research, Clyde. Terrestrial life has evolved from elements different from what we're used to. Like the sulfur-based life cycle of deep-ocean tube worms, who get their energy from volcanic vents rather than the sun.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Second is Helium, which is chemically inert (by product of hydrogen fusion).
Carbon and Oxygen are also among the most abundant in the universe. It is not random chance that we are carbon-based life forms; it is a strong statistical likelihood. We also incorporate a lot of nitrogen, phosphorous and a few other elements. And water.
Silicon based life forms (which have been speculated about) could not exist in an oxidizing atmosphere, they would exhale silicon dioxide (sand). They would have to live in a reducing atmosphere, such as a methane atmosphere, and might exhale a gas, such as silane (which burns in oxygen). Silicon based life forms are fun for speculation, but not very likely in the real universe...possible, but unlikely. Never say never, but it would be really an odd situation.

A sulfur based life form might be more possible than a silicon based life form. But sulfur is not nearly as abundant in the universe as carbon. Carbon, being so readily abundant, is likely the basis for a lot of life form types, should we ever get out and be able to search.

Carbon and Oxygen are also among the most abundant in the universe. It is not random chance that we are carbon-based life forms; it is a strong statistical likelihood. We also incorporate a lot of nitrogen, phosphorous and a few other elements. And water.

Astatine is a chemical element with the symbol At and atomic number 85. It is the rarest naturally occurring element in the Earth's crust, occurring only as the decay product of various heavier elements. All of astatine's isotopes are short-lived; the most stable is astatine-210, with a half-life of 8.1 hours.
That is slightly shorter than it takes the Seattle Mariners to destroy my hopes and dreams each year.

Oh, listen, it can get worse. My insurer for the collector cars also does market reports, based on their auction feelers, applications for coverage, and their own expense accounts. They send out bulletins. Their last communication was a warning to get ready to lower my coverage because the market has peaked and is headed down. How do you suppose that makes their customers feel?

No, those are basically elemental silicon, doped with tiny amounts of other elements.
Look at ethanol, beverage alcohol, for example: C2H5OH.
It's basically the hydrocarbon ethane, with one of the six hydrogens replaced by a hydroxyl group. A silicon analog, if it exists, would be Si2H5OH.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon
This would be a silanol, which are widely used in a lot of chemistry synthesis. But you cannot isolate a compound like that in "air", as the Si-O-H bond is too reactive with oxygen. Silanols and silanes (Si-4H, for example), react, sometimes violently, in air.
A million years ago, when I worked in a semiconductor factory, we used Silane (SiH4) in reaction with ammonia to make a silicon nitride layer on a wafer chip.
Silane actually burns on contact with air.

Early on he remarks that it is amazing that the Cold War and the Soviet Union were such fundamentally important parts of the last 100 years of world history and a story of terrible atrocities but it is a real mystery why no one talks about it any more.
Later on he mentions reading some non-Soviet aligned leftists noting that their brethren where willing to let the Soviet Union by a horrible experiment because if it worked out it would justify their views on socialism, he doesn't mention it specifically, but this is the same idea as "have to break a few eggs to make an omelet".
But...notice Malice can't then take this back to the original point. Why doesn't the western media talk about the cold war and the USSR? Because it is bad for their current flavor of socialism.

Thanks. I did subsequently look that up.
Hmmm. I wonder if Silane could be used as a fuel gas? Use scrubbers to trap the SiO2, and vent the H2O. I expect it would be abrasive as Hell in an engine, though. Bad juju if silicone brake fluid gets sucked into an engine.

I always point to this:
Socialism doesn't work, even on a small scale. It was tried here before the word 'socialism' existed, it was just under a different guise. Here it was 'community'. When the Pilgrims landed off course up in Massachusetts, they were a religious community. They grew food as a community. The food was equally split at harvest. Some noticed those who didn't work as hard got the same split so, human nature being human nature, they slacked off, helping create a food shortage. Then the Natives came to their rescue and now we celebrate Thanksgiving -- all thanks to failed socialism.
And that's the rest of the story.

Here's the part of human nature the social justice wankers in our legal system always ignore: The legal system, trial and imprisonment, is not to protect the citizenry from the criminal but the criminal from the vigilante justice of the citizenry. When crime is ignored, that's what ends up happening every time, whether the results are right or wrong. The 'wrong' is the problem with vigilante 'justice' and is Exhibit A for why need a functioning impartial legal system that prosecutes crime.
