In Bethlehem, Palestinian teenagers paste posters of themselves holding painted flags representing countries that support Palestinian statehood onto Israel’s separation barrier.

The skill of an elephant tranny is breathtaking.

The fact that this flight exists and my husband booked us tickets on it (Literally leaving Stockholm and arriving in LA on Halloween). The distance traveled just blows my mind and to me, pretty awesome.

Nice! I imagine that it saves gas because of the Coriolis effect.

It just amazes me that the route even exists. So when we leave Stockholm in the morning, it will only be about 1400 or so in LA. Like the day that never ends, But it is 11 and a half hours in the air and I hope to be sleeping most of the time. Plus the fact that we turn the clocks back an hour in Sweden on the 30th of October...so the day will probably be the longest ever for us

that's a crazy flight, I hope they have seats like this on that plane.

Tell them to keep it below, say, 5000 feet the whole time so you can do sightseeing in those areas along the way. ;-)

I got to experience a seat like that once on a 13 hour flight from China to LA. Was glorious.

I also did the same 13 hour flight in coach a number of times.
