July 4th

Oh, and by the way, a happy independence day celebration to all Americans...

Airplanes

I just heard over the radio how the deejay kept his mobile phone turned on (he was on the phone with his ultimate crush) during take-off and boldly said that turning off the phone is just b******t. That if mobile phones are life-or-death dangerous don't you think they'd allow you to keep it in the cabin in the first place. He has a point although one caller said that using the phones while inside the aircraft really interferes with the pilot's communication with the traffic controller. So, I guess, unless you want the pilot to hear what you're talking about on the phone, rather not use it.
I also knew from Myth Busters that using cellphones in the gasoline station doesn't really make the gas spark.
