planes

Flying is such a hassle. What with security and the food and the delays? Ugh. Airports! Am I right?

Now, imagine having to fly not just yourself, but also 80 falcons. What? “Uh, excuse me, passengers, this is your captain speaking, and you better buckle up because this is going to be a bumpy flight.”

This Saudi prince bought 80 seats on an airplane so that his falcons didn’t have to use their wings. However, while that might seem strange to us yanks here in the states, it’s actually quite common in the middle east, where falconry is pretty popular. Qatar and Etihad Airways both have policies for bringing birds on planes.

Still, all these birds on a plane should have Samuel L. Jackson calling his agent and saying, “Put on your helmet because you’re about to hit the ceiling: ‘Snakes on a Pane 2: Birds on a Plane.’”

These days, we are spending more time in our houses/apartments than ever before (probably). If you've watched every show on Netflix, played every board game you have, and gone through every hobby you have, we have just the activity for you: making paper airplanes! And no, making paper airplanes is not just a fun thing you did in your childhood. It takes expertise and skill to make a decent paper airplane, and there are many different styles depending on which style of flying you're aiming for. We made eight different tutorials for eight styles of paper airplanes, and they're all in this list. So, go get some paper and start folding!
