If your laptop runs out of juice mid-flight, there’s an answer: Inflight power recharger cables. Just plug it into the plane seat’s audiojack and charge away.

What will they think of next?

I think the scariest airplane story du jour has to be this one: Man Sucked Out of Plane at 20,000 Feet.

Yikes! That does not do much to alleviate my fear of flying.

This must be the ultimate international traveler’s t-shirt. All you have to do is point at the international symbol for whatever it is you need, and hopefully people will help you, as opposed to fall down laughing at you.

Here’s an interesting publicity ploy: A Spanish hotel lets selected guest demolish it. I don’t know why this idea appeals to me so much, but it does. From the article:

A few lucky people in need of a break from their stress got a chance at some unconventional therapy. A Spanish hotel chain planning renovations at one of its Madrid locations offered 30 “highly stressed out people” — selected by a team of psychologists — the chance to take up sledge hammers and battering rams and smash through its rooms Tuesday.

They get to come back in a few months and check out the newly refurbished digs, too. Hopefully sans sledgehammers, this time.
