This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in a pressurized environment, but now that the it’s safe to board a plane with your phone again, maybe it’s okay for people to smile and chuckle about it again.  See, for example, this brilliant costume of a flaming Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phone worn by a flight attendant.

Fittingly, the flight attendant was about to board a flight from Utah’s Salt Lake City International Airport to San Francisco.  She also works for Southwest Airlines, which has had flights detoured and called off due to problems with flaming Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones.  Before boarding her flight, she joked with waiting passengers about her flight possibly being cancelled due to her costume.

The great photo above was captured on Halloween by Twitter user Heath W. Black.  The costumes is both a funny costume and a warning:  the Southwest flight crew used the phone costume as an example in their pre-flight warning routine to remind customers carrying non-recalled Note phones that they’d have to leave them behind.  Even with special precautions in place, it’s still a bad idea to carry an exploding phone around.

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

The streets of Dhaka are running red with blood.  We’re not talking little trickles of blood, either; we’re talking full-on blood flood filling the city, turning the capital of Bangladesh into a post-apocalyptic wasteland.  There have been lots of horrible flooding events, like a flood of toxic sludge and street-clogging floods of frogs, but a […]

There’s just something about the waters around Puerto Princesa that lends itself to giant pearls.  The port city on the Philippine island of Palawan is the place where the world’s largest pearl, a 14-pound hunk called the Pearl of Allah or Pearl of Lao, was discovered.  Now, it turns out, a local man’s been sleeping […]

There’s nothing quite like walking into a video store, looking at the rows of boxes, and selecting a movie to watch.  It was one of my favorite things as a kid, and one of the few reasons why I went to Blockbusters right down to the end of their run.  Even after Blockbuster folded, I […]

Francisco Rivera Ordonez was simply carrying on a family tradition.  He’s a fifth generation bullfighter, meaning fighting bulls is the family business.  Generation after generation after generation, his family has been in the fighting ring year after year after year, and now he’s getting his daughters into the family business.  Ordonez put a picture up […]

The Room is one of my favorite movies.  It’s the rare film where someone spent a lot of money and did the wrong thing at every possible turn.  A passion project for mysterious, secretive director Tommy Wiseau, who claims to have been raised in Louisiana and only will call himself an American despite an impenetrable […]
