Less luggage due to fat people

According to the article http://www.dagbladet.no/dinside/2008/03/05/528825.html we might in the future see a decrease of the weight we are allowed to bring with us when traveling with planes.

I suggest we start weighing in the total weight of both the passenger and the luggage instead. Anything above 110 kilo will be overweight…that would make some people get rid of some fat

Quiz about Texas gun laws

You don’t need much knowledge to get many correct answers, just answer the opposite of what can be considered common sense in our part of the world at least, that should give you a good score http://crime.about.com/library/blgunquiz_tx.htm

Why did I do a search for Texas Gun Laws? I read this article about the grandma in Texas threatening a Danish journalist with a gun because he came to close to her house http://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/artikkel.php?artid=504230 I would not state that Texas is my preferred place to go on vacation.

TvNorge needs to be educated

Watching the news on TvNorge this evening. They were reporting about the incident at the Hamburg Airport where a plane almost had an accident when landing in strong wind. The reporter on TvNorge first described that the pilot did not have control of the plane just before entering the airstrip. She said that the plane flew sideway, like that was not something normal. It is common to do that, they adjust the plane sideways, how much depending on the strength of the wind, then just before touching the ground they straighten up along the strip. This actual incident almost went wrong after the plane had been aligned along the strip when wind grabs the plane and almost make the wing touch the ground.

Taking the lavatory for a ride

Out at Vestreng earlier today, I have cleaned up the ditch along the road in the back of the picture when I got some spare time. What to do I thought, and started tearing down the outside lavatory standing next to the old barn. So I took it for a ride, and by using the tractor placed it on top of the branches I had taken away from the ditch. Will make a great fire later sometime…

Smashing Pumpkins in concert

Got the ticket to the concert from my cousin Sigurd, he is kind to me 🙂 I know of S.P from their hits back in the -90’s, but I have no cd with them. That is sometimes a huge drawback when going to a concert, and this time was one of them. And when the band played mostly new songs, I think after 10+ songs I knew only two of them, I got tired and went back home. And I did not miss much according to Dagbladet http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2008/03/01/528452.html
