Today, while listening to the radio I heard the news about the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport. Thay have spent millions(!) at this new terminal, and what happends? They dont even know how to transport the checked-in luggage to the plane!

“Baggage handling problems also endure, with reports claiming up to 5,000 bags that were dumped in storage during the chaos of T5’s opening day have still not been reunited with their owners. “

Now isn’t this just fantastic? loflstc! (laying on floor laughing scaring the cat)

I lack words to describe how I react to this kind of news. Go on and read the article for yourself:

Chaos continues at Heathrow’s T5 as more flights are cancelled

Well…. At least those news made me smile, from a kind of schadenfreude….

Take care, hug the next person you meet, and thanks for reading this.

CHICAGO - A corn flake shaped like Illinois is now a museum piece.

A trivia-company owner from Austin, Texas, purchased the flake on EBay Friday night from two sisters in Virginia for $1,350.

Monty Kerr owns TriviaMania.com. He plans to put the flake in a traveling museum along with other items of Americana.

Twenty-three-year-old Melissa McIntire says she and her 15-year-old sister, Emily, were biting their nails as the auction ended. She says the family is relieved and can’t believe they sold the cereal for more than $1,000.

The first auction attempt was stopped by EBay due to rules against auctioning food, so the sisters auctioned a coupon good for the flake instead. The new owner says he’ll probably send somebody to Virginia to pick it up personally and make sure it doesn’t get damaged.

The McIntires say they’ll likely use the money to take a vacation.
