I wonder if / when the airlines will partner with somebody to allow passengers to gamble while flying?

I envision screens embedded in the rear of the seat facing you, with touch-activated betting options.

Sure, the laws would have to change for it to be permitted on domestic flights, but couldn't it be implemented immediately for international / intercontinental flights, over international waters?

Ah, casinos in the sky:that'll have 'em dancing bare ass naked in the aisles.

I remember reading, many years ago, that the next generation of jumbo jets would have gambling aboard. The artist rendition was the upper leven was standard seating and lower level had a casino with regular table games.

As much as a degenerate as I am, I just can't see the need or the profitability of such an arrangement.

Put me on a 13 hour flight to Australia, with a craps table on board, and I would be in heaven. Now THAT would be a way to travel.

Pick one. Humans are bald, they all look the same naked. Every
bird species looks different, and interesting. Not humans.

If you spend 12+ hours in the air like a flight to Asia even the 3 movies only take up 1/2 the time.

That is, until you reach the clouds that the pilot can't see because it's dark (there's going to be some part of that flight that's going to be dark if you're flying east) and the radar doesn't detect them, but then the plane is shaking like crazy. Have fun playing any table game when that happens.

Virtual craps on the screen on the seat in front of you would work, if you're willing to settle for that.

A rather absurd comparison. If you're going to go to biological classifications of animals, you must note that Homo sapiens are the only surviving species in the Homo genus. Not much opportunity to compare/contrast one living species to another within the genus.

On the other hand, more than 50 new species of birds have been discovered just this century. The numerous species of animals that are considered birds are included in genera and families throughout the Aves class. That's how you get such different appearances.

If you wanted to make an equivalent comparison of the species of humans to every other species in the same biologic class, you would have to compare to all of the mammals. I think you should be able to find quite a bit of different appearances in the Mammalia class for humans, perhaps as much or more as for the Aves class for birds; e.g., human vs. cow vs. platypus. And if you looked just within one genus of birds, I'm not sure you could even tell one from another.

Not really. I went to the nude beach all the time
in Santa Barbara with my then girlfriend. Nudity
is boring to the point of falling asleep. Birds are
much nicer to look at.

Your comment was to the effect that there is little difference between humans (within one species) as opposed to the interesting differences between birds. If the only bird species you got to watch were Rock Pigeons, I expect it wouldn't take so very long for you to decide that they are very much alike and not all that interesting to you in their differences.

Speaking of pigeons. In Santa Barbara the city cemetery
is on a high cliff over looking the ocean, on the way to
Montecito. The nude beach in the 70's was right below
the high cliff. Every week day at about noon, if you looked up,
there was at least a dozen on more men in white tee
shirts eating brown bagged lunches peering down at all
the nude people on the beach. Some had binoculars. It
was the cemetery labor staff having lunch.

I think I'd rather look at a good looking naked woman over a naked bird.



Its group nakedness thats repulsive. Groups of naked people,
like on the plane, look ridiculous. A nude beach looks ridiculous.
A single naked woman can be sexualized, not so a group.

Wow, Bob. You may have lost your T-count, but no 20-year-old dude would agree with you. Some naked humans are def more interesting than other naked humans.

Not really. Seeing a bunch of them in person for longer
than 10min gets really boring. Even a group of women.
Boobs and butts, real original. There's a cartoon in an
old Playboy from the 60's where a guy is in a nudist camp
staring at a beautiful naked woman. In the thought bubble
above his head he's imagining her in an evening gown.
I completely get it now and I didn't at the time.

Have to side with Bob on this one. For several decades here in BC half the bars had strippers. Total nudity no pasties, no G-string. Got old very fast I usually took a chair facing away from the stage since most of the guys did want to see the stage. Couldn't see the point of watching naked ladies I couldn't touch. Kinda like watching someone else play craps - what is the point.

I always tell people going to a strip club is like paying for a very expensive buffet and not being able to eat or touch any of the food :(

Bob would consider those girls boring. Personally, I think that main girl fidgets with her arms too much. "Come on girl! They paid you to be naked for the shoot...git yo arms outta da way!"

I almost have to agree with Bob. That particular picture of naked people on an airplane is not appealing to me at all. When I get to see 4 or more naked people at a time, you start to think about more than the naked people -- I start to think about the depravity of the situation.

Of course, it's just more likely that a single woman sitting naked is doing that not because she wants to, but because she has been coerced into doing so or really needs the money and has made a value decision to show off her body for cash (or drugs). However, for alot of us, by the time we think about that, we've already rationalized her situation away and just think she wants to show off her body to the world!

Someone peed in my cornflakes today. Sorry.

Well, maybe it's kind of like going to an Auto Show to see the New Models with the related sticker shock.
