Hmmm doctors may not be needed but I thought that airlines had rules to stop you flying when heavily pregnant. In order to prevent this kind of situation or having to divert the plane due to a medical emergency, etc.
Or simply to make the flight more pleasant! I had to get a long flight once near a screaming baby which drove me nuts, I can't imagine what it would be like sitting next to someone giving birth! :p
My parents have a vase that almost set fire to their house! They got home and found a burnt hole in the tablecloth that was smoking... lucky it didn't go up. Turns out the vase happened to be shaped so that if the sun was hitting it directly from any angle at all, it focused it into a direct beam about 15cm away from the vase.

He should try posting in stamps if they won't accept the pennies.
Actually, this makes me think of something else. Recently the price of copper has gone up a fair bit and people have been nicking copper wire all over the place. I wonder how much pennies are worth if you sold them as scrap copper?
I wonder if our ex-Prime Minister and Bush's best buddy, Johnny Howard, would have been quick enough to dodge the shoes. Or Tony Blair.
Maybe we should get the heads of all countries on some sort of a stand and have shoe-dodging contests. It could be included in the Olympics. The Head-Of-State Shoe Dodge.
I'm sure it was very nice but, as always when there is anything interesting in the sky be it meteor shower, lunar eclipse or alien spaceship... it was cloudy in Sydney.
Very cool! I for one am willing to sacrifice a few ants in order to see this. I wish someone would pick the concrete structure up and put it in a museum near me somewhere so I can get a good look at it.

We don't want the rest though.
Now they keep it in the shade.

You look at the past through rose-tinted goggles, right?

Wedge a screwdriver in?? I think possibly I would have been slightly more careful...
