I think the sign says it all!
It’s funny how unintended words or phrases appear when a signs lights fail.

This weeks theme is Funky
Standing at the base of Toronto’s CN Tower (the largest free standing structure in the world) is kind of Funky:
These photos were taken last year when only the top of the CN Tower was light, as it has been since the beginning. However, this past June the city added LED lights to the sides of the tower and the whole tower is lit every night.
This is what the top where the restaurant, glass floor and observation decks used to look like:
Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of the CN tower since they added the lights to the side. These also aren’t the best photos in the world but they do show how cool looking the CN tower can be at night.
I hope you’re having a Funky weekend!

This weeks Theme is Light(s)
Now you know I never do the obvious over here at Odd Planet, so what do you think of this little hot doggity dog?
I’m sorry, I just couldn’t resist putting this photo up. I’ve had it for a while and I’ve been waiting for either the right story to come along to add it to or the right theme. Today is the day. I certainly hope that if anyone were to light the fuse on that rocket that the dog would be ok. Somehow, I have a feeling that he’d have a scorched tail at the very least. Maybe a scorched butt too!
Accidental plane crash cures fear of flying
This wasn’t the way this fear of flying class was supposed to end up curing their students fears- but for some this accident worked.
A Fear of flying specialist, lynn Walsey said “It was the best thing that could have happened,” Dr. Walsey’s class – which helps students overcome their terror of commercial aviation – went down in bad weather on the outskirts of Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Shortly after take off the problems began, when both engines aboard Walsey’s airliner flamed out. “No worries there,” Captain Barris Hamilton announced to the jittery fliers. “Planes like ours can glide without incident for fifteen minutes or more.” Hamilton restarted the engines but immediately lost hydraulics to the flight control surfaces. “And the landing gear” said Captain Hamilton. “Fortunately, flights land safely without gear all the time.”
Can you imagine being on this plane as it landed, sparks and metal flying as the jet made a belly landing, skidded from the runway, and finally plowed into a Fort Dodge “Chamber of Horrors” amusement center, where animatronic ghosts leaped at passengers through holes in the fuselage.
Passengers almost unanimously regard the class as a success. “I think it’s safe to say I’m cured,” said one happy student. “I’m really looking forward to my flight home.”
