Mormon and Irishman are on a plane

A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London to the US.

After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Irishman asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before him.

The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust, "I'd rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips."

The Irishman then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "Me, too, I didn't know we had a choice."

Explorers think they've found Amelia Earhart's long-lost plane. Not everyone's convinced

Aviation expert Dorothy Cochrane said it's certainly an intriguing image, but it's not enough to declare the mystery solved.

"This is a sonar image … it just doesn't quite give us enough detail to go ahead and say, you know, this is Amelia's plane," said Cochrane, a curator in the Aeronautics Department of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

"You have to go back and just identify this object and say, well, it is or it isn't…. If we get good photography, you know, that goes a long way to identifying [it]," she told The Current.

First Flight of the Samson Switchblade

A non-folding wing prototype of this flying car design was flown on 9 November 2023 after 14 years of development. That must have eaten a lot of venture capital! The company claims 2,300 customer orders for these, but no idea when an actual production prototype with the real folding wings will fly or what the price will be.

You will need a diver's licence and a pilots licence to operate this.
