Just my various thoughts on my main areas of interest: mind, brain functions, consciousness, technology, travel, food, hamburgers, wine, champagne, high-end hotels, frequent flyer programs, credit card programs, cheap philosophy (the kind that you would not spend money to read) etc... It's all written in English by a French culture shifter living in France. This blog also features hamburger photography, food porn & absurdity. It may be offensive to intellectuals & aesthetes.

Fear Of Flying
As a Qantas A380 experienced an engine failure after taking off from Singapore today and hopefully managed an emergency landing without any casualty, I couldn't help but wonder:
- When a commercial plane crashes, do first class passengers get priority access to heaven and free booze for eternity?
- Do sinful frequent flyers get upgraded from purgatory to heaven?
- What kind of compensation do Platinum status passengers get?
Or, if it works according to the parable: "So the last will be first and the first will be last", does this mean that coach passengers will get lifetime Platinum status?
Most importantly, will people affected by anatidaephobia (the fear of being watched by a duck) die too?
So many stupid questions, so much time on our hands to try and answer them!
