This Turkish Airlines Flight is drawing the world's largest national flag in the sky.
On Saturday night Noel received an alert from Flight Radar 24 to advise that: "To celebrate Turkish National Sovereignty and Children's Day, this Turkish Airlines Flight is drawing the world's largest national flag in the sky." The result is pretty accurate.
Paper ... scissors ... RULING!
A $500,000 debt incurred
from three games of rock paper scissors played nine years ago was invalid, the Quebec Court of Appeal has ruled. Edmund Mark Hooper, the unfortunate loser of the classic hand game, took out a mortgage on his house in 2017 to pay off the debt — a fact that was acknowledged in a notarised contract. But the Superior Court cancelled that mortgage, which was appealed by Michel Primeau, who beat Hooper in the game of rock paper scissors — and won the $517,000 wager. Quebec law stipulates that for a wagering contract to be valid, it must be related to activities "requiring only skill or bodily exertion on the part of the parties", rather than to chance and the amount wagered must not be excessive. While lawyers for Primeau claimed that rock paper scissors "called upon the skill of the parties, particularly in the speed of execution, the sense of observation or the putting in place of a strategic sequence", the judge decided the amount was excessive.
