I fly too much every year, so I found this amusing, and sooo true. However, I usually win the battle of the armrest :mad:!!ROAR MINE!!:mad:

EDIT:
I especially chuckled at the 11:52am part. I've always wondered what that damn hole was for.. you can sometimes see ice crystals forming in between the planes of glass/plexiglass/plastic/window thing.

Not sure if you're serious, but heres the answer.

The hole is there so when the plane is pressurized/depressurized the air between the panels can escape. Otherwise there would be some pressure issues

Ahh very interesting. That makes sense hehe.. actually, why didn't even I deduce that, that's what it's for? argg. I feel retarded now. :(. now i'm sad.

I stared at that little hole far too often. That and the occassional dead pale bug that somehow got stuck between the panes.

:thumbsup: I've flown across this country numerous times and to Europe a couple times and, while I wouldn't say that I fly often, I can definitely relate to everything in that link. :D

Yeah that would have been my guess and I'm not very good with physics.
