Thoughts on airports. Airlines and waistlines

Why is it that just about every new airport that gets designed ends up being based on the shape of an aircraft wing? Boring. Don’t airport architects have any other ideas? What about other flying based themes? If I designed an airport it would be in the shape of an in-flightt meal. They are so cool with their little compartments. It would look amazing from the air. The container of water could be a giant glass carpark. The main course would be the main terminal the knife and fork could be a huge sculpture or water feature and in keeping with the in-flight meal tray theme the cheese could be a small yellow building that no one is ever able to open.

I have an idea that could revolutionise air travel. Everyone is into fitness right. So why not replace the seats with exercycles. People could pedal while they fly. It would be healthier than sitting on your arse. The whole deep vein thrombosis thing would be solved. You can get more exercycles into a plane and seats so that would be good for the airpline and no one want to eat while they are working out, so the airline would save money on the food as well.

EXERAIR – A healthier way to fly. Shrinking the cost of airtravel and your arse.

The Australian Navy's big boob.

Good bless you Australia. You loveable larrikins. If the world was throwing a party and you weren’t there I would be the first person on the blower, ‘Where the bloody hell are ya?’
The Aussie navy has been paying for their lady sailors to have boob jobs. It is thinking like that that earned Australia the nick name ‘the lucky country’. Not so lucky if you’re an Abo or a farmer or a refugee looking for asylum. But if you have a missus in the Australian navy with a small rack. Bingo! You just hit the jackpot brother.
Brigadier Andrew Nikolic said “We do consider the broader needs of our people, both physical and psychological.” Good on ya Andrew and everything you stand for.
The more cynical amongst you might say he was considering the needs of men stuck at sea for long periods of time looking for something a little more interactive than a poster on the wall, but I don’t think that’s the case at all. We hear a lot these days how an important role for the armed forces is to win the battle for the hearts and minds of the people in the countries they go to. Well what better way to do that than to send a boat load of fully stacked Aussie chicks ashore. How can you wage a war of terror when you are busy perving at the Shelia holding the M16 in the blue camo bikini?
Of course the Australian navy could have avoided all the ruckus in the press if they had simply explained that the ladies didn’t have breast enlargements. Instead they were having revolutionary new internal floatation devices attached.
The biggest hoo haa over the boob jobs came from other navies. It seems that there is a very competitive wet t shirt competition operating amongst the naval forces of some of the biggest nations in the world and there were concerns that Australia was trying to stack the odds (so to speak) of taking out the 2007 title. The Australian Navy denies this and has issued a statement saying the ladies will not be entering the competition. And it’s not just the Australian Navy that is have been looking into plastic surgery. It seems the Australian army were considering offering their men penis enlargement operations for the same ‘physical and psychological’ reasons but there were so many they decided it would be cheaper just give them bigger guns.
