A picture of the inhabitants of Miyake-jima in Japan. A small island with a active volcano in the center, which regular shoots out poisonous gas. Because of that, even today, all residents and tourists are required to carry a gas mask with them, and if the alarms go off, they need to put it on.

In 1974, when the mummy of Ramses II (died 1213 B.C.) had to be flown to Paris for restoration, it was issued a valid Egyptian passport, including a photo of the pharaoh's ancient face. His occupation was listed as “King (deceased).

A friend was flying his cargo 747 from Hawaii to the west coast last night and got this "Pilot Response" message.
This pops up is neither pilot touches any controls or switches or buttons for a long period of time, I think it is usually set at about 1 hour.
This is rarely seen except for long flights like this one across the Pacific.
The 747 doesn't want the pilots to fall asleep.

I remember Sawchuk playing for the Leafs in the mid ‘60s. He was referred to as the Shut Out King from his earlier career with the Red Wings. He had issues and unfortunately passed away in 1970 when he was the third string goalie for the Rangers. He is in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
