Flying the friendly skies takes on a whole new meaning if you’re dealing with Air India.  While the pilots and crew will definitely be friendly to you, you’d better hope they don’t get too friendly with others.  After copilot Captain Ranbir Singh was accused by a female flight attendant of getting a little too friendly, in the unwanted sexual harassment sense, her fellow steward Amit Khanna decided to defend her honor by punching the copilot in the middle of a flight between Sharjah and Delhi.

All involved are very lucky that there wasn’t a crash.  The flight had 106 people on board, not counting the crew, and in mid-air is no place to resolve your differences via fisticuffs.  The leader of the flight crew, Aditya Chopra, should’ve gotten all involved to cool it, separate, and deal with it all on the ground.  The fact that he even let the two come to blows is a complete failure on his part.

It doesn’t matter who hit who first, or who fondled who, or whatever.  When you are flying at hundreds of miles an hour in a giant missle, none of that really matters.  The important thing is not falling out of the sky.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
