Talking to Americans - However, the prime minister's name (back then) was Jean Chrétien; poutine is a French-Canadian fast food dish of french fries and cheese curd, and also was potentially inspired by recent jokes about Russian president Vladimir Putin who has a similar name. Also, Chrétien had not endorsed any candidate at the time and, in any event, it does not behoove the head of a neighboring country's government to take such a stand regarding U.S. presidential races. Bush's opponent, Vice President Al Gore, also fell victim to Mercer, when he was asked about the Canadian capital Toronto (it is actually Ottawa).

Amelia Earhart - 1936 she took delivery of a Lockheed 10E "Electra," financed by Purdue University, and started planning her round-the-world flight. Earhart's flight would not be the first to circle the globe, but it would be the longest at 29,000 miles, following an equatorial route. On March 17, 1937 she flew the first leg, from Oakland, California to Honolulu, Hawaii. As the flight resumed three days later, a tire blew on takeoff and Earhart ground-looped the plane. Severely damaged, the aircraft had to be shipped back to California for repairs, and the flight was called off. The second attempt would begin at Miami, this time to fly from West to East; Fred Noonan, a former Pan Am pilot, would be Earhart's navigator and sole companion in flight for the entire trip. They departed.
American Airlines Flight 965 - PM, just five minutes before its scheduled arrival, the plane went down in the Andes, in the first fatal 757 incident in U.S. history, and at the time, the worst American air disaster since the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 seven years before. Only four passengers and a dog survived the crash. Cali's air traffic controllers had no radar to guide the 757's approach, so the pilots had to land the plane using the airport's instrument approach. Unlike the newer Instrument Landing System, Cali's approach uses several radio beacons to guide pilots around the mountains and canyons that surround the city. The airplane's flight management system already had these beacons programmed in, and should have, in theory, told the pilots exactly where to turn, climb, and descend, all the way.
Tom o' Bedlam - poem. The existence of a chorus suggests that it was originally sung as a ballad. The most commonally quoted lines are as thus: "The spirits white as lightening Would on my travels guide me The stars would shake and the moon would quake Whenever they espied me. With a host of furious fancies, Whereof I am commander, With a burning spear and a horse of air To the wilderness I wander. By a knight of ghosts and shadows I summoned am to tourney Ten leagues beyond the wide world's end- Methinks it is no journey." Robert Silverberg has written a book by the same name, "Tom O'Bedlam" (1985)..

Madama Butterfly - having promised to return "When the robins nest again." Suzuki, Madama Butterfly's faithful servant, rightly suspects that this means never, but is upbraided for want of faith by her trusting mistress. (Butterfly: "Weeping? and why?") Sharpless has been deputed by Pinkerton in a letter to tell Butterfly that the lieutenant has married an American wife. Seeing her wonderful faith, the consul cannot bear to destroy it. Butterfly is so wild with delight at the sight of her lover's letter that she is unable to comprehend its contents. She believes Pinkerton is coming back, and in her joy refuses to listen to Yamadori, a rich suitor brought by Goro, saying that she is already a wife. Goro tries to explain, but she declares proudly, "That may be Japanese custom, but I am.
