Ranked: Global Airlines with the Most Plane Crashes

Before flight was even invented, humans have been fascinated by the vast skies above them, and for obvious reasons. There is inherent marvel in defying something as fundamental as gravity; in quite literally, reaching for the stars.

And from the early days of military use, the aviation industry is now critical to the movement of goods and people around the world.

Disgruntled? That's being kind.

A disgruntled former Disney employee allegedly repeatedly hacked into a third-party menu creation software used by Walt Disney World’s restaurants and changed allergy information on menus to say that foods that had peanuts in them were safe for people with allergies, added profanity to menus, and at one point changed all fonts used on menus to Wingdings, according to a federal criminal complaint.

The suspect in the case, Michael Scheuer, broke into a proprietary menu creation and inventory system that was developed by a third-party company exclusively for Disney and is used to print menus for its restaurants, the complaint alleges. The complaint alleges he did this soon after being fired by Disney using passwords that he still had access to on several different systems. Once inside the systems, he allegedly altered menus and, in once case, broke the software for several weeks.

“The threat actor manipulated the allergen information on menus by adding information to some allergen notifications that indicated certain menu items were safe for individuals with peanut allergies, when in fact they could be deadly to those with peanut allergies,” the criminal complaint states. According to the complaint, the menus were caught by Disney after they were printed but before they were distributed to Disney restaurants. Disney's menus have extensive "allergy friendly" sections.

Bad onions. I'm not Lovin' It.

Slivered onions are likely cause of McDonald’s E. coli outbreak, CDC says

They reconciled. And became tonight's Genius Award Winners

“If you decide to exit I-85 (GA exit 173) with your life partner while on a road trip to reconcile your relationship, please don’t ‘reconcile’ in the grass between McDonald’s and RaceWay. Yes, it happened, and in broad daylight. ... Get a room. Go home.”
The incident came to light around 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21, when someone called police to report indecent exposure outside the RaceWay gas station near the interstate.

Officers arrived to find a South Carolina woman and her Georgia lover tussling in the grass — britches down, according to an incident report.

Both were cuffed, arrested and charged with indecent exposure and disorderly conduct, officials said.

“Don’t reconcile in broad daylight in the grass beside the street,” police said. “If you’re stupid enough to do this, please don’t stop in Lavonia.”
