The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

If you find yourself on a lost continent (underground world), where there is prehistoric life or an ancient civilization still flourishing, there is also an active volcano.

You can pretty much find a chainsaw when you need one.

If your town is threatened by an imminent natural disaster or killer beast, the mayor's first concern will be the tourist trade or his forcoming art exhibition.

Building ventilation ducts are always clean.
Corollary: The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty.

Turn on the lights!

Never dig in sand, the woods or graveyards. In fact, never dig up anything.

When the power goes out, wandering the house with a flickering candle is not a good idea.

To mask your identity you don't need plastic surgery, just a pair of thick-framed glasses.

If someone calls you and says they have vital information and asks you to met them somewhere, don't bother showing up. He'll be dead when you get there and you will be charged with the murder. Trust me on this one.

Animals (dogs, cats, birds, fish) always know who's bad and will naturally bark, hiss, chirp or point at them.

Airplanes can inexplicably look like a 757 at take-off, a 747 in flight and a 737 at landing.

Under no circumstances get a job as a security guard at a scientific research center.

It's easy for anyone to land a plane, providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.
Corollary: In an emergency, anyone can fly a helicopter.

The baggage compartments of commercial aircrafts have cavernous space even when fully loaded.

If you smell tanna leaves burning, RUN!

Any computer, anywhere, can hack into the most secure government system.

Never get attached to dogs named "old Yeller".[/list]

Keep'em flying
