...shed a few grams by relieving themselves prior to boarding. Someone even proposed limiting the number of toothpicks in the aircraft galley to one per passenger. These ideas were discarded, but more practical ones were quickly implemented. Korean Air removed two unused TV antennas previously mounted on the rear of all its planes. The reduction in drag saves almost 30 kilograms of jet fuel per hour. Pilots now shut off one engine while they taxi, saving yet more fuel. And luggage is now loaded farther aft, shifting each plane's center of gravity and helping to keep the nose lifted...
Although most visitors to the new Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, will approach it from the side facing downtown, that's actually the rear of the building. The glass-walled main entry is on the other side, facing south across the banks of the Ohio River. The center turns its face in that direction for good reason.

"It looks more like a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley," says John Dickens, 64, who traded in his Lexus SUV, worth $65,000 new, for a 300C at a dealership in Athens, Texas...
...comments about it--and everybody was talking about it--that I decided to keep it. I had some fun with a Russian coach who asked me if my mustache slowed me down. I said, No, as a matter of fact, it deflects water away from my mouth, allows my rear end to rise and make me bullet shaped in the water, and that's what had allowed me to swim so great. He's translating as fast as he can for the other coaches, and the following year every Russian male swimmer had a mustache...
