Flying First Class Next to a Corpse

LONDON, England (Reuters) — A passenger in first class woke up to a shock when he found himself sitting near a corpse on a British Airways flight, British newspapers reported on Monday.

Paul Trinder, 54, said cabin crew moved the body of the elderly woman from the economy section where she had died after take-off, the Mirror and Sun tabloids said.

“The corpse was strapped into the seat but because of turbulence it kept slipping down on to the floor,” Trinder, a businessman, was quoted as saying. “It was horrific. The body had to be wedged in place with lots of pillows.”

Another “In God We Trust” Issue With The New Dollar Coin

030807dollarcoinsidcopy.jpegIt turns out that on the new presidential dollar coins, “In God We Trust” and “E Pluribus Unum” appears on the edge of the coins, not on the face.  This angers some folks.

But before we get to the article, do you actually know what “E Pluribus Unum” means?

CNSNews.com – “In God We Trust” is the national motto, but you may need a magnifying glass to find it inscribed on the edge of those new one-dollar coins.

The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm, is urging Americans to avoid using the coins altogether.

“It is astounding that Congress has effectively done what atheist litigants have been unsuccessfully trying to do for years — erase all reference to God from our money,” said Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Law Center.

“This is just another step on the road to a secular society where all religious symbols are removed from public view.”

The Law Center wants Congress to repeal the law under which the new coins are being minted.

The Presidential $1 Coin Act, enacted in 2005, requires the government to issue $1 circulating coins featuring the images of presidents. That law requires the United States Mint to place “In God We Trust” and “E Pluribus Unum” on the edge, rather than the face, of the coins.
