Thanks in part to the SMH, I found a list of Murphy’s Laws for Frequent Flyers. Things like planes are only on time if you are running late, If you arrive very early for a flight it will be delayed, and the distance from checkin to the plane is inversely proportional to the time until the flight leaves. Well, not always. I have a friend in the USA who was running late for a flight, probably due to get to the airport about 40 minutes before his flight. But he managed to crash the car thanks to another driver changing lanes without seeing if anyone was there. His flight was delyed for some reason, so this friend of mine says that this is the first time in history that anyone has managed to write off a car whilst running late and still get onto the flight.

Also on the subject of aviation, the BBC is reporting that 10,000 bags were ‘lost’ during the problems in the UK. The baggage systems were not designed for so many small bags and it was overloaded. Planes left without the bags in many cases. About 5000 bags still need to be delivered to their owners.

The SMH is reporting that they think that J.K. Rowling made about $190 per miniute last year. That is a huge amount of money. WOW…
