And on to the future...

With one of the more expected developments of the rest of the decade being space tourism. Off course, with such nonsense going on as four year olds being dangerous terrorists and therefore on the no-fly list (or misunderstandings as outlined descirbed by the BBC in ''babies hit' by terror flight ban') there are already calls for security measures on this form of travel, naturally headed by the US: US draws up space tourism rules. Though in the case of violent passengers, it's quite difficult to just dump them on some forlorn Island, as outlined in the 'pilot dumps drunk man on island' story. Also, there are rules about losing your passengers, but even in commercial flight it's possible to gain them mid-flight, as the story 'woman gives birth in plane toilet' illustrates. And of course, with space travel, you need rules on what to do in case of alien hijackings as well. Okay, enough in-flight nonsense.
Also on the BBC, an overview of the best and worst adds in the UK. I might try and link a couple if I can find them. One that I can link to is the guinness 'rhythm of life' add (QT, 5.93 MB). In the meantime; be warned, as the crazy frog is back, yet again.
