Religion does more harm than good
[Quote:]
More people in Britain think religion causes harm than believe it does good, according to a Guardian/ICM poll published today. It shows that an overwhelming majority see religion as a cause of division and tension - greatly outnumbering the smaller majority who also believe that it can be a force for good.
The poll also reveals that non-believers outnumber believers in Britain by almost two to one. It paints a picture of a sceptical nation with massive doubts about the effect religion has on society: 82% of those questioned say they see religion as a cause of division and tension between people. Only 16% disagree. The findings are at odds with attempts by some religious leaders to define the country as one made up of many faith communities.
Women said peer was ‘demonically oppressed’
[Quote:]
Two women fired from UT-Arlington told supervisors that they prayed and rubbed religious oils on a co-worker’s cubicle because they believed she was “demonically oppressed,” according to personnel records the university released Friday.
Evelyne Micky Shatkin and Linda Shifflett filed a lawsuit against the University of Texas at Arlington on Tuesday alleging that they were fired illegally last spring based on their religion, age and gender.
Shatkin has said they and a male co-worker prayed for a female colleague in a nondisruptive way after work hours March 3.
In an e-mail to supervisors, the male co-worker said he was invited to witness the praying and cleansing but became uncomfortable when Shatkin began to chant loudly and rub perfumed oil on the absent co-worker’s cubicle wall.
The man quoted Shatkin as praying, “You vicious evil dogs. Get the hell out of here in the name of Jesus. … I command you to leave.”
The man wrote that he was not an active participant and that he saw the two women rub the oil on other employees’ work areas as well.

Triplane Madness
[Quote:]
Although most people who have even a passing familiarity with First World War aircraft can identify a Fokker Dr1 and perhaps even the Sopwith Triplane, exceedingly few are aware of the tremendous number of aircraft that were designed, built and tested that had more than the usual 2 wings.
Study of this era of aviation shows that most firms that were engaged in aeroplane production tried at least one triplane design and some just couldn’t seem to let go of the idea ( Euler for instance).
During this heady era, with no computer modeling or even a goodly amount of past experience, the only way to find out if an idea would work was to actually build the plane and see if it flew.

Discovery of dazed stowaway grounds flight

A man scaled a security fence at Raleigh-Durham International Airport and boarded a Delta jet in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, landing himself in jail while preventing a flight to Cincinnati from taking off.
Gregory S. Wester of Fuquay-Varina walked onto the Boeing 737-800 and quietly took a seat while a cleaning crew was working on the plane about 3:30 a.m., airport spokeswoman Mindy Hamlin said.

“It blows my mind that you can’t get 3.5 ounces of toothpaste on a plane,” he said, “yet somebody can sneak on a plane and take a nap.”
