Overnight Open ThreadWelcome to tonight's theme-less hump day ONT. Which Airports Are Ripping You Off? It's no secret that it costs much more to fly out of some airports than others. Well Nate Silver of the NYT has run the numbers - accounting for miles flown, flight volume and other variables - to find out which airports are unreasonably expensive (or cheap). Prices are higher the more the legacy airlines dominate an airport, but they also tend to be a bit higher where Southwest has a large share as opposed to other low-cost carriers like AirTran and JetBlue. (Southwest is cheap, but it isn’t quite as cheap as some of these up-and-coming airlines and now represents something of a middle ground.) Also, prices tend to be higher when any one airline dominates an airport, regardless of whether it is a legacy carrier or a low-cost one.Houston (IAH), Newark, and Dallas (DFW) are the worst deals with an average markup of around $70. And Ft. Lauderdale, Milwaukee, and Orlando are the best - being underpriced by around $80. Remember Those 50 Million Global Warming Refugees In 2005, the United Nations Environment Programme predicted that climate change would create 50 million climate refugees by 2010. These people, it was said, would flee a range of disasters including sea level rise, increases in the numbers and severity of hurricanes, and disruption to food production.Global warmenists hardest hit. Remember That Male-Female Wage gap? Recent studies have shown that the wage gap shrinks—or even reverses—when relevant factors are taken into account and comparisons are made between men and women in similar circumstances. In a 2010 study of single, childless urban workers between the ages of 22 and 30, the research firm Reach Advisors found that women earned an average of 8% more than their male counterparts. Given that women are outpacing men in educational attainment, and that our economy is increasingly geared toward knowledge-based jobs, it makes sense that women's earnings are going up compared to men's. 5 Bizarre Pitfalls of Owning a Classic Car No, I meant that Quarter-stache and Pseudo-Jose over there are going to put that pedal down regardless of your actions, and they will be stunned, absolutely floored, if you don't race them back. This sight will be so flabbergasting to them -- a male who isn't leaping at the chance to prove he has a penis via the liberal application of gasoline -- that they will almost certainly total their $15,000 automobile ($5,000 for the car, $10,000 in ground effect kits) against a tree while gaping at you. And whether you're at fault or not, that's still a guilt you're gonna have to live with, brother. Pseudo-Jose was going to be a doctor, you know. But not now, not with those claws he calls hands.I'm pretty sure that if Ace ever started writing for Cracked, you'd end up with an essay like this. Video Footage of Yuri Gagarin's Spaceflight Which Music Fans Should You 'Date'? Body of Darwin Award Candidate Found Can Quite Afford Your House?
