A recent survey by an IT services provider found that 39 percent of 18-to-24-year-olds would consider leaving a job if a Facebook ban was imposed.
Please pity anybody who can’t get through a single day's work without Facebook. Their back must be killing them - from the monkey that they are carrying.

Like a Helicopter?

A helicopter can do three things that an aeroplane cannot:
* A helicopter can fly backwards.
* The entire aircraft can rotate in the air.
* A helicopter can hover motionless in the air.
In a car or a plane, the vehicle must be moving in order to turn. In a helicopter, you can move laterally in any direction or you can rotate 360 degrees. These extra degrees of freedom and the skill you must have to master them is what makes helicopters so exciting, but it also makes them complex.
To control a helicopter, one hand grasps a control called the cyclic, which controls the lateral direction of the helicopter (including forward, backward, left and right). The other hand grasps a control called the collective, which controls the up and down motion of the helicopter (and also controls engine speed). The pilot's feet rest on pedals that control the tail rotor, which allows the helicopter to rotate in either direction on its axis. It takes both hands and both feet to fly a helicopter!
