The legal war started after Kanye's Saint Pablo album brought in more than 1 million new subscribers to Tidal. He also was never reimbursed for music videos, to which Tidal says he didn't deliver the videos he owed them. Last summer Kanye took to Twitter to voice his frustrations with Tidal, saying things like "This Tidal Apple beef is f*cking up the music game" and "Apple give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop trying to act like you Steve".
Surprisingly, TMZ claims that Kanye had no idea that JAY-Z was about to drop an album bashing him when the financial dispute erupted last month. Ye said he's no longer interested in releasing music through exclusive streaming deals and his next album, which he's now working on, will be available everywhere.
Kanye West is also reportedly prepared to sue Tidal for not paying the rapper for the massive uptick in new subscribers following the release of The Life of Pablo previous year. From that point onwards, the pair teamed up regularly on each other's music and released their collaborative album "Watch The Throne".
In an infamous on-stage rant past year, the "Stronger" hitmaker begged Jay Z not to send "killers" after him, demanding he instead talk to him "like a man". / "F*** wrong with everybody?' is what you sayin' / But if everybody's crazy, you're the one that's insane".
It all started off past year when Kanye publically stated he was disappointed in Jay Z and Beyonce for not checking in on his wife Kim after she was robbed in Paris.

Girl's actions caused her to fall from NY park ride
QUEENSBURY, N.Y. (AP) A 14-year-old DE girl who survived falling off a NY amusement park ride has been released from a hospital. Her experience on Sky Ride , which is a half ski-lift, half gondola ride, was going horribly wrong.
Jay-Z is now a major shareholder in the company, along with Sprint, which purchased 33 percent of Tidal in January 2017.
The star's lawyers are said to have issued a letter stating Tidal is in breach of contract and informed them West, 40, is terminating the deal.
He was recorded screaming to the crowd, "You still ain't call me.I know you got killas, please don't send 'em at my head, just call me".
After the Paris robbery, the Life of Pablo rapper called out Jay-Z in a rant at a concert. You gave him 20 million without thinkin'.

Scientist Find 3 Planets That Could Support Life
Scientists find 3 Earth-sized planets that may support life
Scientists have found three planets about the size of Earth that may be able to support life.
As the video shows, the planets orbit an "ultracool dwarf," a star much smaller and cooler than the sun, but still possibly warm enough to allow for liquid water on the surfaces of at least two of the planets.
The planets have a "winning combination" of being Earth-sized, potentially habitable and well-suited for atmospheric studies, making them "the first opportunities to find chemical traces of life outside our solar system," study co-author Julien de Wit told CNBC in an email.
The team published its findings Monday in the peer-reviewed journal, Nature.
This is the first time planets have been observed orbiting ultra-cool dwarves — though scientists had suspected that such stars could host small solar systems.
The researchers note in their paper that "there should be a large but hitherto undetected population of terrestrial planets orbiting" ultra-cool dwarves, "ranging from metal-rich Mercury-sized planets to more hospitable, volatile-rich, Earth-sized planets."
The team found the planets using the Trappist telescope, an optical system located in Chile but operated robotically from a control center in Belgium.
David Kipping, an astronomer at Columbia University told the New Scientist that there "is a legitimate case to be made that this system could host life, and we may be able to infer the presence of that life in the next decade."

Tesla's New Bioweapon Mode
Tesla's particulate filters are so good, not only do they clean up the air inside the car, they make the world outside the car cleaner, too.
Cabin air filters are nothing new; they've been rolled out in luxury cars since the late 1970s, and across a broader number of vehicles from the mid 1980s onward. HEPAfilters in cars are more novel, but Telsa is one-upping the HEPA filter by adding a Bioweapon Defense Mode button. Talking about bioweapons is a way to catch the headlines, but the real talking point is that by using industrial-grade particulate filters, the Tesla Model S and Model X are spectacularly well-suited for use in environments where pollution is off the charts.
Of course, the current Tesla models are a lot of things, but one thing they ain't is cheap. Put the two together, and you get Tesla's target audience here: People who have access to significant amounts of money and who suffer from tremendous amounts of pollution.
Around 7 percent of the top 1,000 most-polluted cities in the world are in the U.S., which is the first piece of the puzzle: Creating cars that are particularly well-designed for your home market is just common sense — especially if you're an electric car company who inherently has a horse in the race when it comes to making a statement about pollution.
Looking at the rest of the data is far more interesting, however, and offers some clues as to why this matters to the car manufacturer: India, China, Turkey, France and Germany all feature heavily in the top 1,000, and, while not all markets are equally affluent (average GDP per capita varies wildly between these countries), there is no denying there is a large number of people who can afford — and do buy — luxury cars in all these countries.
If we're looking just at the countries that suffer from the most severe amounts of pollution, the data changes dramatically. It comes as no surprise that pollution has a choke-hold on China's economy, with a recent report suggesting that a staggering 6.5 percent of the country's GDP is being spent on pollution-related costs.
India is also struggling tremendously; the country has the dubious honor of claiming 13 of the 20 slots in the top most-polluted cities in the world. A 20-minute documentary entitled Death By Breath was released, exploring just how bad the air quality is in cities like Delhi, Patna and Gwalior.
What's interesting about both of these markets is that they may just be perfect target markets for the sort of thing Tesla is trying to accomplish.
I believe that thinking "Hey, the HEPA filters make Tesla great for polluted places" is the wrong way of looking at it: It's the other way around. Tesla was looking at the markets where it wants to make a huge splash, and added the advanced filtration precisely because these markets are struggling with severe pollution problems.

Coffee and Wine may be Good for the Gut
A cup of coffee or a glass of wine appear to help maintain "good" bacteria in the gut, a new Dutch study has found.
Large-scale DNA analysis enabled researchers to examine what factors affect the diversity of the microbiome, the intestinal bacterial community unique to each individual. Coffee and wine can increase the diversity of gut bacteria, while whole milk or a high-calorie diet can decrease it.
"In total we found 60 dietary factors that influence the diversity. What these mean exactly is still hard to say," Alexandra Zhernakova, a researcher at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and the first author of the study, said in a statement, according to EurekAlert. "But there is a good correlation between diversity and health: greater diversity is better," she added.
Scientists found that people who regularly consume yogurt, buttermilk, fruits and vegetables have a greater diversity of gut bacteria. Drinking coffee, tea and wine also proved to be good for one's gut.

Review: Google Keyboard for Android Makes One-Handed Typing Easy
As the Android world awaits N, the latest version of the mobile operating system, Alphabet Inc's Google released some cool new phone software as a sort of consolation: an all-new Android keyboard geared for one-handed typing. Phabletsmay be great for watching video, reading email, surfing the Web and choosing the right filter for your group selfie, but these same massive displays are terrible when it comes to that all-important activity, typing.
The new Google Keyboard app, rolling out now in the Google Play app store, addresses that need. Once installed, you give a long press to the keyboard's comma key, and up pops a green phone-in-hand icon. Slide up to it, and the keyboard squeezes over to the right. You can pin the skinnier keyboard to the left as well, so this will work for both righties and lefties.
It's automatic relief for anyone who knows what it's like to have to awkwardly twist your hand around a phablet to reach those edge keys. Even though the one-handed version of the keyboard is, by design, shrunk down, it still works great with gesture typing: Sweep your fingers across keys to spell out words quickly, while keeping the phone stable in your hand.
Another nice ergonomic feature: You can adjust the keyboard's height in the app's settings, making it taller or shorter as needed. You can also turn on or off borders around keys—some people may want clear targets for where their fingers should land.
Most Android updates only come to certain phones on certain carriers. But the fact that this keyboard is served up as its own individual app means anyone running Android 4.0 Ice Cream or newer, with access to the Google Play app store, can get it. (If you have a Nexus phone, just update the already installed Google Keyboard app to get the new perks.) So, if you're an Android user who has a tough time reaching all the keys when you type, give Google Keyboard a shot.

How Millennials Ended the Running Boom
After two decades of furious growth in footrace participants, the number of finishers dropped 9% in 2015, according to industry-funded research group Running USA. Coming off a small decline in 2014, the 2015 slide points to a sustained cooling off of footrace fever, something that was unimaginable only two years ago, when Running USA reported that the number of 2013 finishers had reached an all-time peak of 19 million.Back then, observers predicted an imminent crossing of the 20 million threshold. Instead, the 2015 number dropped to 17 million.
A sport traditionally dominated by young adults, running is losing its hold on 18- to 34-year-olds.
Millennials aren't sedentary. Rather, they're fueling the proliferation of studios that specialize in everything from cycling, CrossFit and boxing to ballet barre workouts, boot camp and weight training. Their hunger for variety is reflected in the success of ClassPass, which offers entry to a range of fitness classes in 31 U.S. cities for a monthly fee. The service has booked 18 million reservations in less than three years, most of them for people in their 20s, a spokeswoman said.
Millennials also drove the success of untimed events that emphatically aren't competitions. Young adults grew up in an era of de-emphasized athletic competition and have expressed a greater fear of failure than older generations, says Sarah Robb O'Hagan, former president of the parent company of Equinox gyms and SoulCycle. O'Hagan is writing a book advising millennials how to take more risks in pursuit of professional and personal growth.

This bug could give you the 'kiss' of death
A deadly insect known as the "kissing bug" has recently been reported in other states besides Texas. Texas officials said recently at least 12 people in their state have been infected with a parasite connected to the insect.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the insects — called triatomine bugs— may carry a parasite that causes Chagas disease, which — if left untreated — can cause sudden death.Kissing bugs get their nickname because they favor biting human faces and lips at night.
In Pittsburgh, after an on-air report about the bug, viewers sent in photos to WPXI and a curator at the Pittsburgh Zoo said the photos did appear to show "kissing bugs."
However, the station reported that no cases of Chagas disease had been confirmed in Pennsylvania.
How to protect against the 'kissing bug'
Even if the bug carries the parasite, CDC officials say, the likelihood of getting Chagas disease from the bug in the United States is low.
The CDC says that the bugs are typically found anywhere from under porches or cement, in animal burrows, chicken coops or even outdoor dog houses or kennels.
To keep the insects away from your home, the CDC says to use the following precautions:
• Seal cracks and gaps around windows, walls, roofs, and doors
• Remove wood, brush, and rock piles near your house
• Use screens on doors and windows and repairing any holes or tears
• If possible, make sure yard lights are not close to your house (lights can attract the bugs)
• Seal holes and cracks leading to the attic, crawl spaces below the house, and to the outside
• Have pets sleep indoors, especially at night
• Keep your house and any outdoor pet resting areas clean, in addition to periodically checking both areas for the presence of bugs
If you think you've found a triatomine bug, the CDC urges not to touch or squash the bug, but place a container on top of it, slide the bug inside and fill it with rubbing alcohol. If you do not have rubbing alcohol available, the CDC says to freeze the bug in the container before you take it to your local extension service or university laboratory.

A giant, insect-eating carnivore discovered recently in Brazil is one of 2,000 new plants found in the past year, bringing the total of known plant species around the world to 391,000, according to the first scientific report of its kind.
But the report, compiled by a team of 80 scientists from the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London, also showed 21 per cent of species threatened by extinction..

Jenna, would you say you're an orgasm addict? "I'm pretty close to it. I love to cum. I feel bad for girls who have never had an orgasm before. Ever since I first started masturbating I've always cum. I would spend hours in the bathroom fingering myself and letting water from the bathtub faucet run on my clit. I would have orgasm after orgasm, meanwhile some of my friends didn't even know where their clits were! Because I'm such a good friend, sometimes I would help them find their clits." We think we know where this is going. But tell us, anyway. How would you help your naive, little girlfriends find their clits? "I would use my tongue and flick their buttons till they came! They were less intimidated by getting naked with a girl. So I would spread my pussy and show them my clit. Then I'd spread open their pussy lips and show them their clit.

12 years in a private school and naturally I read "Sacred" yet heard "Jesus, Mary, Moses, Exodus, Leviticus, Jonah & the Whale"…do you see where I'm going with this?
But once I went through the Books of the Bible and 10 Commandments…I started thinking about our country, our world if we're going for a more broad route on the topic..
I remember growing up playing in the street, walking to the gas station, going to the town fairgrounds without an adult at 13. I remember clear as daylight telling my high school teacher I refuse to have kids because it'd be unfair to them. She asked me why, with judgement written across her forehead might I add. {I mentioned the private/catholic school thing right?} I told her "Do you watch the news? Check your facebook newsfeed daily? Do you see what's going on everyday? EVERY day. How could I make the choice to have a child in this terrible world while it's only worsening as time continues."
I get on facebook and see nothing but shared posts from friends on the latest mass shooting or predator attack. The news isn't any better. Shootings, bombings, abuse, abductions, rape, murder, suicide, drugs, stabbings, intoxicated drivers.
Acts of >> terrorism, violence, hatred, addiction, depression, revenge, jealousy, war, scandal
I can tell you right now…my son is lucky to live in the country. I can let him play out in the back without worry filling every inch of my body..but that still doesn't leave me with much comfort. I couldn't imagine letting him out of my sight at the fair, much less stay my ass home while he's there. I couldn't imagine letting him walk to the store around the corner.
I know I'm stating the obvious, preaching zero new information to a very aware choir. But now that I have E, while I'm still convinced we live in a hate filled world, I don't feel that way anymore.The child we raise is the determining factor on whether or not this world burns to the ground. Call me dramatic, I'm used to it, but I firmly believe this to be true. We are in control of our children's future world in which they live…the way we raise our children…that's how we fix this. We as parents are responsible for raising that child to be respectful, responsible, dependent, intelligent members of their future society. We as parents are responsible for raising that child with LOVE and consequences for actions. We as parents are responsible in doing all that we can and pray our world turns around for our children; the rest is up to them.
I cast zero judgment on any one person on their parenting techniques, I couldn't care less how things are done in your home…unless it puts the child in harms way. I cannot sit and say your way is wrong and mine right. I cannot sit and say you're doing it this way or that. But if we don't teach our sons to be kind, respectful MEN and our daughters to be kind, respectful WOMEN…we can't really complain when reality comes rolling in, can we?
Maybe I'm making no sense…maybe you don't agree. Maybe I sound like a complete imbecile.
But I'm confident that with praise, discipline, and some tough love here and there…we can make this world a little more peaceful. A little more sacred.

Routine well being checkups, non-emergency care and cosmetic surgery are rarely lined by travel health insurance. It is worth double-checking your present insurance coverage to be sure you don't find yourself paying for a similar coverage twice.

That looks awesome!
This is the kind of project into which I put no forethought before executing. This is the kind of project that if I can't finish just as quickly, I will whine to Kris about NEVER BEING ABLE TO GET ANYTHING DONE.
I am the best.
We got this table and chair set from the used market in Bermuda. It could use a little cosmetic work (who couldn't?) but since it now lives outside and is for the entertainment of two-year olds (who isn't?), I unpacked it and moved on.
Then I walked by it yesterday and thought I could do better, simply and quickly with something we already owned. Enter the leftover window film from Show's Over.
Kris helped with this project as the sun went down.
A table set by two for one.

I purchased this little Sizzix Big Shot hand cranked die cut and embossing machine this week for doing some of the designs on my handmade Kalico Kards. I love new tools - especially if they save me time! For 21 years I've been handcutting every design that goes onto Kalico Kards with a scissor, and individually embossing some of the backgrounds by hand. The new tool so inspired me this week, I couldn't pull myself away from it! So many new ideas, so many possibilities!
For those unfamiliar with the Big Shot machine, it's similar to the wringer on an old 50's washing machine, only much smaller. Big Shot's accessories are: a platform, and rubber, silicone and acrylic plates (for squeezing your chosen material and the die cut or embossing folder between) , and a variety of available embossing folders, and die cuts which can cut a variety of materials including fabric.
The die cuts and embossing folders are sold separately - and you can also use other companies products with it as well. I've already cut 50 fabric Christmas trees in 45 minutes, which would have taken me 4-5 hours with a scissor. The embossing possibilities are endless because you can actually make your own folders! I've not experimented with that yet! There are many videos on http://www.youtube.com/ on both embossing and die cutters.
It's just what I needed to move forward and give a little different look to my products! Just goes to show - we're never too old to be inspired by something new!

RICHMOND, Va. -- Something strange happened to Rick Berry and his roommate Philip Blackwell when they went shopping in a Carytown drug store last night. Berry asked the employee for one thing.
"Sliced cheese," Berry said. "I just, yeah, all I asked was for sliced cheese and she told me that they didn't carry it."
Berry said before he knew it, the two employees just vanished.
"We looked around for about, I want to say 30 or 45 minutes and we couldn't find anybody," Blackwell said.
A third customer was also in the store.
"He was actually in the store before we were. He had a bad tooth, all he wanted was some Orajel. That's all he needed. And then the employees disappeared and we all just became part of some weird event."
Eventually, Berry says, police showed up. Customers and the police worked together to find the missing employees.
"He was laughing with us cause, you know, we were like this is how weird movies start. Weird apocalyptic movies start. Just joking about it."
Berry shot his own Snapchat video that shows officers trying to find the employees.
"Someone called the cops on us."
Eventually, the officer took another phone call. And that's when the three customers were...
"Being kicked out because they were scared of us and they were hiding."
"Just told us that we needed to leave the premises or else we were going to be arrested for trespassing. And that completely flipped the script on all of us and we had no idea what was going on."

Ground Beta (運度所
Ground Beta is a training course that emulates a standard urban area, with streets and buildings. Several of its buildings also contain monitoring rooms in their basements, where indoor exercises can be observed.
Ground Beta was the main setting of the Battle Trial Arc, where the trials took place inside the course's buildings. The exercise consisted of two opposing teams of two going against each other, simulating a confrontation between heroes and villains. The "heroes" were tasked to infiltrate the building and recover a warhead prop, which was defended by the "villain" team.
Later, at the end of the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc, the ground was used as the setting for a battle between Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo, with Katsuki having chosen the place specifically because of the Battle Trial Arc, where he had suffered a loss against Izuku. The fight was found out by a patrolling security robot, alerting Shota Aizawa. All Might, however, let the battle proceed and spoke with both boys after it was finished.

A High-Class Gallery Print for any modern home and office space
True Chromogenic (C-Type) LightJet Print on Kodak Endura Metallic Pro placed under a 6mm Crystal Clear High-End acrylic glass. Lots of presence, unbelievable depth and intensified, vibrant colours. Exceptional quality for exceptional pictures. A very special High Price GALLERY PRINT in a limited edition from 1 to 5 + 1AP. Complete with a professional aluminium hanging system – READY TO HANG.
A Chromogenic (C-Type) print is any photographic print that has been exposed using lasers or LEDs rather than a traditional bulb (in a darkroom). The paper is processed in a photographic developer, followed by bleach-fix before being washed to remove the processing chemicals much the same as in a traditional analogue darkroom.
The high gloss surface and metallic look of the Kodak Metallic paper (235 g/m²) produce photos with extraordinary optical depth and expressiveness. The acrylic glass makes the image appear vivid and vibrant in colour with an extra sense of depth. The acrylic glass that is used when creating these prints is shatterproof and extremely lightweight making it easy to hang almost anywhere.
The aluminium Dibond Backing consists of a black polyethylene core sandwiched between 2 aluminium sheets, and the integrated wall-mounts on the back of the picture make it easy to hang it securely.

There are many ways to define a cost/benefit analysis, and the definitions can quickly get complicated. So to keep it simple:
"A cost benefits analysis is a process through which business decisions are analyzed. The benefits of a given situation or business-related action are summed, and then the costs associated with taking that action are subtracted."
An example: The benefits
Let's take a look at this concept within the context of a hypothetical IT project. Say you want to streamline your finance department's monthly close cycle. You estimate that by integrating stand-alone systems in purchasing, finance, and other areas of the company, and by introducing IT automation and business process redesigns into the month-end close process, you can save finance two days each month in a monthly close that now takes a total of three days monthly with every person in finance working on it.
The benefit from this system upgrade project is that finance gets its entire staff freed up from work for the two days that are saved from the close. This savings can be tabulated by adding together the daily compensation figures for all the employees who are involved in the close. The freed-up person power can be redeployed in other activities that may return more value to the business.
You also work with finance and discover that accounts receivable will be modernized, so you will be able to receive and process payments from customers sooner. This helps company revenues and cash flows, thereby reducing the amount of money (with interest) that the company needs to borrow to sustain itself while waiting for payments to clear. You work with finance to come up with a savings figure.
You add to this the cost savings the company will see from the de-implementation of legacy system hardware, software, data center expenses, etc., that are now used for the month-end close and that will be eliminated.
Hypothetically, we'll say that you project a savings of $1,000,000 per year.
SEE: Special report: Tech budgets 2018: A CXO's guide (TechRepublic PDF)
An example: The costs
Now, let's look at the flip side of the ledger—which consists of the costs of the project.
To install new systems that can facilitate faster month-end closes, you estimate hardware, software, and data center costs, amortized over the course of a five-year license. In addition, you will need to commit 10 IT staff full time for one month to complete the integration work required for the new systems. Then, there are training needs on new systems and business processes required for IT and finance personnel, and perhaps for individuals in departments who will be affected by changes in business processes. There might even be costs of notifying customers and business partners of changes—and certainly some money set aside for legal and compliance reviews.
Again hypothetically, we'll say that all this adds up to $4,000,000.
You compute your figures, and you enter the budget review process, where you go over the cost/benefit analysis—because the CEO and certainly the CFO will want to know the payback of the investment.
In our simplified example, it would appear that the break-even point for the technology investment would occur in year four. After that, there would be some ongoing costs, but the business would mostly be reaping the benefits.
Developing a cost/benefit analysis for any IT project can get interesting when costs and benefits are difficult to quantify, or when the business value of different projects have to be weighed against each other.
IT project cost/benefit calculator
Calculating an IT project's costs and benefits requires expertise in planning and executing projects, developing budgets, and understanding how both costs and benefits change over the life of a technical initiative. This updated calculator provides a customizable Excel spreadsheet for collecting and calculating IT project costs and benefits. Free for Tech Pro Research subscribers.
Best practices
IT managers who are tasked with these analyses can improve their results if they consider the following best practices and and are aware of certain pitfalls:
- Always evaluate any project against the priorities of other projects that are also waiting for approval and funding. Just because a project pays off faster than others, that doesn't mean it should be the first to implement. The first priority of the business is always what it needs most to stay competitive operationally and in terms of revenue.
- Don't try to do a cost/benefit analysis by yourself. There are many hidden costs that only someone in the department where the system will be deployed could know about. For this reason, it's important to have someone from that department working with you.
- Show where hard dollars are saved or earned. Soft costs are hard to quantify. I have always found it to be a hard sell when I tried to convince a CFO that so many person-hours would be saved by a new system. The reason is that there is always more work to be done elsewhere—so the company doesn't see any cost savings in its payroll.
- Check your numbers. Too many IT'ers develop cost/benefit analyses and then fail to cross-check their figures for accuracy. You don't want to go to the CFO and explain that you're going save 10 full-time employees' work for two days if you streamline the month-end close, when in reality, it might look like 10 people are working on the close, but only four of them are working full time.
Bottom line
The important thing to remember in a cost/benefit analysis is to keep your vision unclouded and objective—because there are many other projects competing for funding too.
Also, it's essential to know your company. Entrepreneurial companies often don't need cost/benefit analyses. If they they think a project is worthwhile and they can afford it, they just do it. In other cases, project proposals receive a great deal of scrutiny, and you'll be asked for every single number that shows that a project is a good investment.

Get Lucky In The Sky
Laura Schreffler | Apr 25, 2013 | Comments 0
Thanks to Richard Branson We Can All Get Lucky in the Sky…
God, do I love Richard Branson. Not only do I think his airlines are the best on the market — Virgin Atlantic and Virgin America for those who happen to be living under a rock — but the man is actually instrumentally about to help single flyers on his flights (and no, I do not mean he wants you to join the mile high club).
This past Monday, April 22, the 62-year-old British billionaire not only launched service between Los Angeles' LAX and Las Vegas' McCarren airports (hallelujah!), but he also debuted his very cheeky 'Get Lucky' program.
The service allows passengers to send other passengers — presumably whom they find attractive — cocktails. It's kind of like when you're sitting at the bar and the bartender places a foreign drink in front of your face and says "Compliments of that guy over there", except it's being done on a plane.
The caveat: the service is only available on said flight from LAX to Sin City. How appropriate: your "What goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas" shenanigans can actually start before you even arrive. Brilliant!
In his promotional video, "Sir Richard Branson's Guide to Getting Lucky at 35,000 Feet", Branson says with a grin: "Order a drink, meal or snack, select his or her seat, and don't forget to seal the deal by suggesting seat-to-seat chat."
Sir Richard, you are a rascal. Smart, hilarious and romantic, but a rascal nevertheless. Cheers to you!
And cheers to all you LA-Vegas-goers. The idea is pure genius, and really, what do you have to lose? The worst that can happen is that you'll never have to see said stranger after the flight ever again in your life.
So what are you waiting for? Bottoms up!
