    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  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.

                          In the comments:

                          "My guy was masterful with machinery as well and could tame the most wild equipment. People would watch in awe. Without guys like him and my guy, we might never have those "when machinery goes terribly wrong" videos

                          "Watch this" code for you might want to stand way back"

                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                    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.

                                      I first saw hockey around that time. My Michigan relatives were fans, so I may have seen him with the Wings.

                                          I can remember when my father, a high school hockey coach, brought home one of the original goalie masks. Nobody in the NHL was wearing a mask, or helmet, at the time.

                                          It was a futuristic-looking sheet of curved plexi-glass. I remember that I couldn't get it to fit right. I thought, those things will never catch on.

                                          Then Teddy Green got his brains bashed in and they wouldn't let him play without a helmet.

                                          Then some kids came up from the minors wearing helmets.

                                          Then it all became a little safer.
