French Of The Week [8/8]
The term francophobia refers to having a fear of the French, of French culture. All of this lead me to the website, I-Hate-France.com. An example of francophobia from the site:
Welcome to I-Hate-France.com, the best place to express your hate for a country that has a long and documented history of appeasing and supporting global terrorists.
An interesting analysis of French anti-Americanism – maybe the two countries just don’t like each other’s girlfriends?
Plane Crash Survival Slightly Higher If You Sit In The Back
Popular Mechanics did a study of each commercial plane crash in the United States since 1971 and found that passengers sitting in the back had the best chance of surviving an accident.
There is a 20% higher survival rate for coach passengers according to the study, although the sample size was limited to only 20 flights.
Travel Delays At Worst In 13 Years
Delays have been bad as air traffic has picked up post-9/11.
From the Consumerist:? The new numbers are in and the first 6 months of flight delays are the worst we’ve seen in 13 years.
If you are stuck in the airport, make the best of it and scope out the best place to crash.? Sleep deprivation have you making bad decisions, so make sure you have some things to keep you busy – or just take the train 😉
Lala Pulls Free Music Streams
Lala, the service which had been offering free music streams online, pulled the plug on the service a few weeks ago only after 1 month in business.
The company had started to let users stream their favorite songs to their computers for free. But Lala managed only to sign an agreement with one of the four major labels??Warner Music Group. Now it has shut off its streaming songs service until it has more label partners.
I know I’m a bit late on this, but it’s not the first time Lala and it’s predecessors failed. Will we ever be able to get free music online? Until then there’s always YouTube.
