New steps in trying to help those nervous flyers

Enough on the stupid phishing. Reading the world news today, I came across this article and had to share. By the way this was not in the Weird section.

Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft.

Nepal Airlines, which has two Boeing aircraft, has had to suspend some services in recent weeks due to the problem.

The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.

I guess this satisfied the sky gods, since I did not see any news about further problems concerning Nepal and air travel.
