What happens when you flush dry ice in an airplane toilet at 33,000 feet?
Ask the pilot There is a tired old adage that defines the business of flying planes as long stretches of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror. Moments of sheer ridiculousness may be equally as harrowing. One young pilot, when he was 22 and trying to impress the pretty Christine Collingworth by taking her up for a twilight sightseeing circuit in a friend's Cessna, highlighted the seduction by whacking his forehead into the jutting metal pitot tube hanging from the 172's wing. Earning himself a famous "Cessna dimple," so he chose to think, would be the stupidest thing he'd ever do in or around an airplane.

Reviewed: Nokia 9290 Phone
A breif look at the hardware specs: the unit weighs 8.8-ounce and measures 6.1 by 2.3 by 1.0 inches. And yes, it feels huge in your hand. It’s packed with a 32-bit Strong Arm processor CPU and backed up with a total of 40 MB of flash RAM for the user, app and execution memory. An MMC slot provides for future expansion. The closed “phone” mode, the Nokia 9290 has a standard dial pad, flip out antennea and a six-line monochrome 0.8- by 1.2-inch screen which displays standard call info. Nokia rates the talk time at 10 hours and standby at 10 days. Open it up though and you reveal the gorgeus .4- by 4.3-inch 4,096 color display (640x200) and large keyboard. There is no touch screen so input is completed via the keyboard, direct to program hotkeys and a multi-directional shuttle key.
