Things to Ponder

Okay a great widget for iGoogle (if you haven't signed up for an acct. you really should)...it gives you some food for thought every day...some just for humor, some for real comtemplation....like this one:

Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?

I know this reason actually: because (1)most people don't know how to use it or wear them properly(2) people would get sucked into the jet engines on the plane (3)people are less likely to land properly (4)statistically you are more likely to make a water landing and being in the body of the plane will make you more likely to survive by giving you time to think (5) your natural instinct for survival will stop most people from jumping out of a plane--even if their life depended on it.
