This man is going to have no cred whatsoever in jail. "Oh, yeah, he's the guy who got beat up by the eighty-year-old woman in the house he broke into." "Pathetic."
"Rod Stewart Reveals his Epic Model Railway City"... I guess the articles in Model Railroader magazine in December of 2007, February of 2014 and June of 2017 showing off his model railroad layout don't count.
So he's following in the footsteps of Peter Schickele, particularly pieces like his 'Unbegun Symphony' (which only has a third and a fourth movement; he was born too late to write the first two movements), and many of the pieces attributed to P.D.Q. Bach, such as 'Eine Kleine Nichtmusik'.
The 'Seyko' misspelling is almost certainly deliberate, to avoid the studio giving out free advertising. Product placement is a sizeable business in film; if you see a character in a film drinking a soft drink, and you can read 'Coca-Cola' or 'Pepsi' on the can/bottle, you can be certain that Coke or Pepsi paid to have their brand visible. When the production company needs to have a prop that would logically be a branded product, but the company that makes that product doesn't want to pay for the product placement (or the production company doesn't want to take the time to negotiate a placement), they'll create a prop that looks similar to the brand, but with enough differences to avoid trademark infringement. So 'Seiko' becomes 'Seyko'.
Yes, the raw counts make it pretty much inevitable that the countries that have more of a given mode of travel are going to be high up in the ranking for accidents from that mode of travel. I have to agree that accidents and deaths per passenger-mile (or thousand miles, or whatever returns an easily-comparable number) is going to be a much better metric.
There is also the fact that smartphones have the potential to short-circuit the plot of many movie genres -- for example, the group of random people encountering the creature out in the woods, and no one believes their story afterward... except they had smartphones, and they've got more than a dozen pictures of it. Or being lost... except that they have a smartphone, and GPS and Google Maps shows them where they need to go. Or they're injured out in the boonies, and have to try to survive with a crippling injury... except that they have a smartphone, and can just call for help. When the characters in a movie have smartphones, the script has to go through gyrations to set things up so that the smartphone is useless, in order to prevent them from derailing the plot.
Well, after all, _no_ one ever raises their weapon up to eye level so that they can actually _use_ the sights... It would be better to decry FPS developers who have characters pose holding their weapons down so low that the sights would be useless, and then pretend that you can still look down the sights.
There's also the issue that Disney faced with the Expanded Universe of having to deal with a forest of separate creators. If the movie rights to the characters created by the various EU authors were not part of their book contracts, Disney would have had to negotiate separately with the authors for inclusion of individual characters, facing the issue of having to write around both the existing EU canon and explaining the absence of a character critical to that canon if an author decided to try to hold Disney up for a bigger payment for the movie rights to a character they created. Declaring the EU to be 'Legends' pushed all of that to the side, allowing Disney to pick and choose which parts of the EU they want to draw back into the core canon while ensuring that none of it is a 'must have' component that could obstruct new production if the author tries to be obstructive.
Manure-pile fires are nothing new; piling up manure, often mixed with hay and sawdust, is part of the composting process to turn it into fertilizer. The composting process generates heat in the pile, and if not turned over regularly, the center of the pile can reach temperatures high enough to ignite. The composting process requires a minimum ambient temperature for the microorganisms responsible to reproduce well, but higher temperatures do not of themselves raise the risk of the pile igniting.
The concept of the internal capsule that can be ejected in an emergency, sliding out of the body of the aircraft, is inherently flawed. Ignoring the problem with the number of connections that would have to be made to bring power, ventilation, etc. to the capsule, ejecting the capsule not only requires that all of these connections be severed cleanly, but that there is no damage that prevents the capsule from sliding. Take the recent suicide bomber blowing out the side of the plane; if that were in an escape capsule, the torn edges of the capsule blown outward would jam into the shell of the aircraft, preventing the capsule from ejecting.
Making the body of the aircraft an ejectable pod also has fundamental problems. As it is now, the passenger cabin is an integral part of the aircraft. With the passenger cabin as a pod, there will be a limited number of attachment points holding the pod to the airframe, making it possible to sabotage the aircraft by blowing the attachment points, with sabotaging the emergency chutes an additional fillip to ensure 100% casualties among the passengers -- like the Challenger astronauts, aware of their fate throughout their fall to earth.
