    I wonder why people don’t like facing backwards. It’s not like you can see where you’re going anyway

    Seats on a C-5 face the rear of the plane. Also, passenger seats on Air Force cargo planes, (not the jump seats the modular pallets they use,) all face the rear of the aircraft.

    I always preferred riding the rear-facing seats when I used to ride the South Shore Line (an electric train betwixt South Bend, Indiana and Chicago).

    I’m in a rear facing seat on the VRE (commuter train in Northern VA) as I write this. Safer and I just like it.

    I saw the excel competition I think there were highlights on ESPN 8. Each spreadsheet gets more complicated and builds on the last

    Backward

    Wife asks: Why are you watching our wedding video backwards?

    — I like the part when I take the ring off your finger, leave church and go to the bar with friends.

    Why do divers fall backwards off the boat?

    Because if they fell forwards they’d still be in the boat.

    What happens if you play a country song backwards?

    You get your girl back. You get your truck back. You get your dog back

    Facing backwards would make car passengers safer too, but parents couldn’t see what their kids were doing when shielded by the seat back.

    It is a common feature on private jets because it is conducive to small group conversation.

    Hm-m-m. I wonder what my HTC phone with the 3D camera system is worth? I just use it as a bluetooth mp3 player now.

    Most seats in the local subway face sideways into the center of the car.

    I wonder who was dumb enough to buy a phone that was nearly 20 years obsolete?

    Facing backwards is a lot safer……. As long as your’re NOT driving.
