The exploding toilet
- davecap1 14y agoI'm not exactly sure what that has to do with anything... but I liked it :)
- tofof 14y agoRead aloud in film-noir-style narration this proved an amusing tale.
- kabdib 14y agoNothing to do with HN, but I was standing in a museum gift shop (waiting for my family to finish pawing over gewgaws and gimcracks) and strangers were staring at me because I was giggling uncontrollably at my phone. How embarrassing. Thank you :-)
- dmckeon 14y agoFor a more tech-related, but less amusing column, try: https://www.boston.com/community/blogs/askthepilot/2013/04/hijacking_via_android_no_proba.html https://www.boston.com/community/blogs/askthepilot/2013/04/h... but I prefer the _Creature from the Blue Volcano_
- thedrbrian 14y agoThis article is an interesting read when people go on about cars driving themselves just like aircraft http://www.askthepilot.com/cockpit-claptrap/ http://www.askthepilot.com/cockpit-claptrap/
- hkmurakami 14y agoAbsolutely amazing storytelling. Gripping yet hilarious at the same time. Nothing to do with HN, but I'm so happy I got to read this. Now I'm going to read his other stuff, brb... :)
- imperio59 14y agoI couldn't breath I was laughing so hard through this. Hilarious.
- bernardom 14y agoPatrick has been writing "Ask the Pilot" for years at Salon. He's really interesting, and this is one of his best articles. If you fly a lot, I recommend looking up his Salon archives. He lives in Sommerville and used to host a yearly meetup to look at his photography- not sure if it's still alive...
- enraged_camel 14y agoArticles like this are a prime example of why HN should not be about just tech. Thank you for sharing. I hope nobody flags it.
- Datsundere 13y agoshouldnot be about just ENTREPRENEUR* ftfy
- crusso 13y agoWhy is it a prime example of why HN should not be about just tech/entrepreneurialism? Because you found it entertaining? Is HN the only web site we all have access to? I like pictures of cats doing funny things, but that doesn't mean that HN is a good place to post links to them.
- vsviridov 14y agoThat was very poetic...
- mikecane 14y agoTry reading that and imagining it in the voice of the late Jean Shepherd. Priceless.
