Officials at Nepal's official state airline recently sacrificed a pair of goats in an effort to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god. The move comes after one of the airline's Boeing 757s developed some sort of electrical problem.
This is a perfect example of why the United States is losing its technological edge over other nations. If a plane at, say, Delta or USAir had developed a similar problem, mechanics probably would have wasted precious minutes replacing something totally unrelated to electricity, like a fuse or some kind of wiring.
My car has been having problems starting in the morning. Hmmm.... Where's my cat?
