How to Survive the Longest Flight in the World - Neatorama

The longest non-stop flight in the world is the 18-hour hop from Newark to Singapore. That's a terrifying amount of time to ride in a jet, but it beats a slow boat. The good news is that the amenities on an overseas flight are always better than domestic flights. Scott McCartney of the Wall Street Journal does a lot of traveling, so he has some tips to pass along for making a long-haul flight more comfortable than it would be otherwise. Some tips are also good for just a few hours in the air. -via Laughing Squid

Young Audio techs ALWAYS think they know more than us old guys.

Fact is Audio Designers are always better with age unless they studied the old guys and their methods from a young age.

Why should it be different in ancient Memphis than in Modern Memphis?

The ancient architechs obviously knew what they were doing - even if we don't understand how they did it.

For some stupid reason, modern man is so arrogant that he thinks if he can't figure something out then his predecessors just got lucky...

Ancient engineers and inventors were in a situation where there was no 'status quo' or solidly set assumptions to prevent the creative process. Some good ideas come from trial and error, and usually the best ones become known due to the error. I've also found that technological breakthroughs happen not from the constant improvement of the leading technology, but the stepping back and looking at something in the past and making it better with currant resources.

Reading through these I have a feeling that even though these mysteries are scientifically proven like the face on mars, people will still cling to delusional beliefs that it's just a cover-up to keep the truth from coming out. One of those strange quirks of human nature I guess.
