Either way, glad I don’t have to fly on that airline, but at least they don’t have the TSA to deal with.

It’s a hoary old thang. Remember using that in the early days of S-100 bus-planes. With hundreds of RAM chips onboard, it was the only way to fix those intermittent glitches. Spose it was inevitable that it worked its way into avionics.

(Yes, I know they probably did, Its a joke, Joyce.)

I’m pleased to see that others see it that way
as well. I was prepared to correct a bunch of
ethocentric goons. Glad that isn’t necessary.

The goat meat was probably eaten after the
sacrifice.

‘Twas on a Wednesday morning the SCSI priest arrived,
With cabling, two goats and her bloody aaaaaaltar knife.
Two sacrifices later the disks began to spin,
The luser waited 20 hours, then he called us up ag’in.

Plus, an airline with such disregard for life shouldn’t be operational. Not only are they unconcerned for the lives of the goats, they’re also unconcerned for the lives of their passengers. If the airplane’s airworthiness is questionable – in the interest of safety – keep it grounded until it’s fixed in accordance with the standards appropriate for such a technological machine, or replace the darned thing.

And the fact that so many on here make jokes about this issue concerns me. What is our world coming to?

Comments such as “it makes a good laugh” or “the goat sacrifice is just good marketing” are completely ridiculous and inhumane. Perhaps some of you should think about what you’re supporting. The fact that you find a “light” side to this tragedy is embarassing. We’re no longer barbaric neanderthals or cro magnons people. We’re homo sapiens. Something called evolution has taken place since those days… perhaps some of us should “catch up with the times”.

Presumably the proportion of potential customers who feel safer on an airline which is on good terms with the gods is sufficient to make the goat a sound investment!
