Smelly farts on airplanes: we’ve all been there, either as the producer or the consumer (or often both). Unfortunately, little attention has been paid in the literature to this all-too-common phenomenon…until now. We can’t tell whether these authors are being totally serious or not, but either way, we think their suggestion for how to deal with the issue of smelly farts on airplanes is a pretty good one.

Airplanes: To fart or not to fart: that is the question

The latest in a series of Lockheed Martin [LMT] F-35A high angle of attack (AOA) testing was recently completed. The testing accomplished high AOA beyond both the positive and negative maximum command limits, including intentionally putting the aircraft out of control in several configurations. This included initially flying in the stealth clean wing configuration. It was followed by testing with external air-to-air pylons and missiles and then with open weapon bay doors. The F-35A began edge-of-the-envelope high AOA testing in the Fall 2012. For all testing, recovery from out of control flight has been 100 percent successful without the use of the spin recovery chute, which is carried to maximize safety.

These are among the 120 organizations, causes and career paths commemorated by specialty Florida license plates. And while alumni of the University of Florida and Florida State claim the top sales spots, the $15-to-$25 fees paid for the tags help support a host of groups around the state.

Example:

The "Helping Sea Turtles Survive" plate, which typically battles with FSU for the No. 2 spot, brought in more than $1.4 million from its 62,500 buyers in 2012. So far, it's promised more than $311,000 in grants for the next fiscal year, mostly to university researchers studying sea turtles.


A license plate for every cause, but how much is raised?

Stopping to steal beer while running away from cops may sound silly, but this is South Florida.

The illegal beer run occurred early Sunday morning after a burglary suspect was allegedly caught in the middle of looting a Lighthouse Point home and trashing it with mustard and illegible scribblings, police said.

The police chase ended with Andrew Fatzinger, 21, of Port St. Lucie, taken to a hospital after tussling with a police K-9, authorities said.
