Because Dubai.
And Hong Kong
And planes.
The final run of a Pratt & Whitney J58, power-plant of the legendary SR-71 and lesser known A-12. This run which also used up the last of the JP-7 fuel stock was conducted September 12, 2002 by NASA personel at Edwards Air Force Base.
And a B-1B Lancer looking sinister
Edit: and I heard you like super-low flybys...

The Dubai pictures are just wow, esp. the night ones. There's so many colorful lights, but the city still gives off this eerie, dark setting unlike pictures of say, New York or Hong Kong. I wonder if there's just not a lot of street lights or the city is usually lit up by bluish instead of amber-colored lights at night.

That's awesome. The perfect way to entertain young boys in a pinch?

Most definitely. I kind of want to know how to make one know for the hell of it.

Do know that your newsroom colleagues....
Do know this...
Please know that...
also,
"We can't buy you lost sleep"
...uh... no. Not remotely what they intended to say. How about:
"We can't buy you back your lost sleep"
or
"We can't buy you sleep"
or
"We can't return your lost sleep"
These people write for a living. I work with numbers. I'm the terrible writer, they're the superb writers. Why am I appalled at their mangling of the English language? It should be the other way around.

Evidently I'm an even worse writer, because it seems like this is just informal writing, it's not like they're writing a news column for a massive city here. Either that, or I'm so used to worse mangling of the English language that these tiny, miniscule arguments you're making are so miniscule as to not even register on the irritation scale.

To be fair, it was probably the bookkeeper that wrote the letter, and thus it probably bypassed the editor.
Oh, and the "89'98 butterfly". Learned of this when my daughter did a science project on butterflies.

""A little over 30 years ago, a teenager named Jadav “Molai” Payeng began burying seeds along a barren sandbar near his birthplace in northern India’s Assam region to grow a refuge for wildlife. Not long after, he decided to dedicate his life to this endeavor, so he moved to the site where he could work full-time creating a lush new forest ecosystem. Incredibly, the spot today hosts a sprawling 1,360 acre of jungle that Payeng planted single-handedly."

That photo is definitely legit. I remember seeing some CNN report on the backlash the photographer and the people in that photo got. Everyone was mad about how the people in the photo seem to not care and the people in the photo were mad at the photographer for capturing them in that moment without any context.
