Air bags for airliners

As of Oct. 27, all new commercial aircraft must have seats that are able to withstand a crash of 16 times the force of gravity. That's less force than in a 30 mph head-on car collision.

Because when you're falling 500 miles per hour it's reassuring to know to know you have a big soft cushion to put your head against. Really? I mean you might as well put teddy bears there to play with while you plummet to your almost certain death..

Swine-flu

Is swine-flu really as big a deal as health care media portray it to be? NO.

The thing about swine-flu is that it's possibly no more dangerous than seasonal flu.

What people should really be worried about is the actual vaccine. The last time there was a swine-flu epidemic only 1 person died from it. But do you know how many lives were taken by the vaccine? 25. Yes, a vaccine that kills more people than the virus itself.
