For the more extreme flier

Looking at flight prices, I came across this gem:

Note the non-stop flight with multiple carriers. I think the icon sums it up perfectly — “Alright, your connecting flight is about to pass us, I’m opening the door. Get ready to jump!”

What's wrong with this?

This one’s for the music geeks. Christine and I were at a restaurant a few days ago, and, not unusually, there was a birthday at a nearby table. What struck me, though, was a little problem with what happened:

lots of clapping and random hollering and hooting
leader: One! Two! Three!
all: Happy happy birthday, that’s what we’re here to say!
all: Happy happy birthday, on this special day… hey!

Geek points go to the person who can spot the same thing I noticed. It’s subtle, and I did get called a dork by Christine for mentioning it. :-)
