This is why math is pretty important in the real world. 6 Small Math Errors That Caused Huge Disasters.

When designing their newest hotel to be built in downtown Kansas City, the fine people at Hyatt Regency wanted all the bells and whistles in it. The architectural firm in charge of the building design came up with a series of aerial walkways suspended from the ceiling so that guests could people-watch from a heightened vantage point. All in all, it was a pretty nifty feature. Until it suddenly collapsed and killed more than a hundred people.

Sonicare Inpired Sex Toy

What the? I guess this was bound to happen. Anything that vibrates always seems to end up as a sex toy and that's what seems to have happened with the Sonicare toothbrush. Sex Toy Inspired By The Sonicare Toothbrush. I guess the 2 minute setting is pretty realistic then no?

The idea actually originated years ago after Elenga spoke to workers at Sonicare toothbrush maker Optiva. Employees joked about the number of customer inquiries from those who were using the device for purposes other than to brush their teeth.

“There were a lot of consumers calling Sonicare saying they were using it as a sexual vibrator, and that kind of made me wonder why would people be using that vibrator,” said Elenga. “It was just this idea that if vibration is better beyond what the existing motors can do, we should try to help it.”

Damn Interesting

I'm kinda suprised that I have never heard of this story. FEDEX Flight 705. From wikipedia:

On April 7, 1994, FedEx Flight 705, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 cargo jet ferrying electronics across the United States from Memphis, Tennessee to San Jose, California, experienced an attempted hijacking for the purpose of a suicide attack.

Auburn Calloway, a FedEx employee facing possible dismissal for lying about his previous flying experience, boarded the scheduled flight as a deadheading passenger with a guitar case carrying several hammers and a speargun. He intended to disable the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder before take-off and, once airborne, kill the crew using the blunt force of the hammers so their injuries would appear consistent with an accident rather than a hijacking. The speargun would be a last resort. He would then crash the aircraft while just appearing to be an employee killed in an accident. This would make his family eligible for a $2.5 million life insurance policy paid by Federal Express.
