I was thinking of creating a book lending business in airports for travelers on long flights. Instead of buying the book in the airport bookshop the passenger can borrow it only for the course of the flight by having the credit card charged full retail price of the book. Upon arriving in the destination airport the passenger returns the book and gets full refund in their credit card. The book can then only be re-lent to passengers traveling back to the country airport the book originally came from.
If a passenger really likes the book they will have the option to buy it by simply keeping it. In this case a new order to re-stock the book will be automatically made via the system and a small profit realized from having sold it retail price. People can also donate books in this business and if their used-book is sold they get to keep a portion of the profit.

The Global Warming Conspiracy?
Disclaimer: I have few, if any facts to support what I am about to post and I'm not even sure I believe it myself. It's just a thought.
It seems to me that environmentalists may have been played like a stradivarius on this one. Not so long ago, environmentalists were actually doing good things and making substantial progress, especially in the area of pollution (clean air and water, hiking trails etc).
But now you don't seem to hear much about that anymore, all you hear about is this nebulous sword of Damocles known as Global Warming. I get the sneaking suspicion that it was all orchestrated, with marvelous success, to divert attention away from real progress and regulations pertaining to fundamental environmental issues.
As long as there is no agreement and people are kept arguing, nothing gets done...about anything.

where did you read that?
don't you hate the sort of people who are not smart but think they are, the sort of guys who blab about 'their' ideas, try to impress all the time or push their opinions on to others? they are so full of hot air, aren't they? it's always the case. i thought of a clever way to bring them down to earth and deflate their egos. at some point they will get to ask 'it's a great idea don't you think?' to which I reply, "yeees, it's interesting, where did you read that?"...'oh no no no this is my idea...' :P

Referring to having the air-condition on during the hot summer months at a very low temperature. This is typical if you work in New York. When I did my training there, the air-con kept the office so cold that I was freezing to the point I had to have a blanket wrapped around me all the time. I was told a cold office keeps employees awake. Is that true? If true, this is crazy, sick and inhumane.
There is a difference between keeping cool and freezing to death. That difference should be no no more than 10 degrees Celsius but the New Yorkers seem to surpass any reasonable expectation of coolness! Or maybe this is how New Yorkers train for the coming Ice Age :)
Other than that New York is a great city!
