It’s not exactly the most common way to fix a commercial airliner, but officials from Nepal’s state-run airline sacrificed two goats on Sunday in effort to do just that, according to Reuters.

Faced with technical problems on an aging Boeing 757 aircraft, Nepal Airlines' representatives told local media the sacrifices were made to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god.

“The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights,” said Raju K.C., a senior airline official, without explaining what the problem had been.

“We may say a small prayer ourselves when we take off. It’s just a part of their culture,” he said.
Ariel Glucklich, a professor of theology at Georgetown University, said that animal sacrifices go back to the beginnings of Hinduism.

“It may be one of the most effective things they’ve done” to fix the planes, said John Adams, a visiting scholar at the University of Virginia who has flown on Nepal Airlines before.

Something to keep in mind. All you guys do is say a quiet prayer. How about a little action ?

In a lot of IBM manuals, it says, "If problem persists, consult maker."

Perhaps burning a sheep on the keyboard is the right step.

Quick Take... To get your donkey going again, you pray to corresponding Hindu God. To get a multi-million dollar, man-made, horrifically complex contraption going again, you better be praying to the Hindu equivalent of Mr. Goodwrench -

Confirmation that other people are interested in the stuff that I post.

A few years ago, I was working on drive that was overheating. The temp compensation board was over its limits and we were sure what the problem was.

Our boss's wife strolls comes by at lunch time and wanted everyone to go out. The machine had been down long enough to cool. She lays her hands on it and prays for a healing spirit.

It cranks up and goes ready. We announce that we are going to lunch and our boss couldn't say anything.


His wife talked all the way through lunch about it.

Hey, a woman, who can heal by just laying her hands on it, is a welcome guest.

You should join the rest of the world and be pissy, angry, and negative all the time. Why not "Everyone is doing it"?

Be well

By the way, like your avatar and sig quote. Sikorsky was a friggin' genius.
