    Airports must go through millions of sanitation wipes for those trays.

    On the actual aeroplane I think you will find it’s the pocket in front of you that holds the information etc.

    The bowls that TSA use are actually dog food bowls.

    If you claim you’re a witch in Canada, do you have to put a spell on somebody to get out of paying a fine?

    I believe it on those trays… been through the line many times, and people throw their coats, shoes, etc., into those things and they don’t get a wipe down or even a quick spray (a la the shoes at the local bowling alley)…

    I suppose the reason why urinals are not the most germ infested is because they occasionally get flushed

    The witch thing is not enforced, of course.

    Those airport bins are what people put shoes in. Of course they are germ-ridden.

    The Kilogram will no longer based on that cylinder. After 20 May, 2019 it will be defined in terms of the Planck constant

    Germs are good for you—as long as you chew them up well. A little extra protein.

    The Kilogram Standard will change on May 20, 2019 to something more universal. Nothing that will affect the vast majority of us.

    Considering how often the “Germs” get radiated by going through the x-ray machine all day long, it is a wonder that any have not yet mutated into something dangerous.

    And the germiest things in fast-food places are the trays. Those things can – & should – be run through the dishwasher between uses.

    What happens if you are a Witch? And how do they weigh the cylinder if it is locked up?

    so, is that witch thing some 200 year old law that they don’t enforce but never bothered to erase or could you be arrested for trying to put on a performance of the Wizard of Oz?

    The Canadian law is mainly about accepting money for witchcraft devinations. I think Wiccans, who call themselves witches, are safe.

    Conversely, I guess that means that REAL witches are OK in Canada.

    The kilogram one won’t be true much longer. There are finally sensitive enough instruments to define the kilogram in terms of physical constants. https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/historic-vote-redefine-kilogram-changes-forever-way-we-measure-mass-ncna936606

    The statement about the germs does not imply what everybody thinks. It is quite senseless to “count” the germs and say sth like “most infested”. It depends on the types of germs, whether they are harmless, bad, or even very dangerous. Few TB bacteria or legionellae might cause a life-threatening epidemic, whereas 1000 times more of some harmless bacteria won’t do anything. Many germs are useful and your body is highly “infested” by them on the inside by them. People loosing them through abuse of sugar or antibiotics often get seriously ill because these germs play an import role in the biological and chemical processes inside their body.
