Waze Or Maze? The App That Makes You Wonder, And Wander

Leave a comment

Waze, the app that promises to guide you home, often takes you… elsewhere. Picture this: You’re ten minutes late to an appointment, and Waze, your trusty co-pilot, reroutes you into what seems like a labyrinth designed by a mischievous Greek god. Suddenly, you’re circling dead-ends, staring at ominous “No U-Turn” signs, and wondering if Waze is short for “Where Are Zoning Engineers?”

And what’s with those prompts? “Turn right,” it whispers, just as you sail past the exit like a contestant on a high-speed game show. Rumors swirl that Waze is in cahoots with fast-food chains and gas stations—why else would your “quick route” involve so many pit stops conveniently located near fries and fuel?

Is Waze a navigator or a prankster? One thing’s certain: when it says “You’ve reached your destination,” it’s probably laughing harder than you are.

Move Over Pisa, the Biliran Swaying Bridge Is Here to Rock Your World!

Forget the Leaning Tower of Pisa—Biliran, Leyte, has launched the ultimate contender in the global race for precarious landmarks: the Biliran Swaying Bridge. Who needs stable infrastructure when you can have an adrenaline-pumping, heart-stopping adventure every step of the way?

This marvel of modern instability offers visitors a unique chance to experience what it’s like to “dance” with nature. Feel the rhythm of the wind and water beneath your feet, as the bridge—lovingly nicknamed The Wobbly Wonder—rocks you into existential reflection. No thrill ride at Disneyland could compare.

The Department of Tourism has hailed it as the crown jewel of their “Love the Philippines” campaign. “It’s not just a bridge; it’s a metaphor for life,” says one official.

So, pack your sense of humor and a sturdy helmet. Pisa may lean, but Biliran sways—and it does so with style!

A Word About Blind-less Windows On Airplane Lavatories

Leave a comment

British Airways’ decision to redesign their first-class lavatories with windows has caused quite a stir—because apparently, “mile-high views” now come with a very literal twist. While the idea of gazing at the clouds from the loo might seem poetic to some, for others, it’s a window of opportunity for mortifying discomfort.

One passenger on a flight to New York expressed her unease, wondering why there weren’t any blinds. Fair point—while the view of the Atlantic Ocean is majestic, it’s not exactly the vibe when you’re multitasking at 35,000 feet. British Airways assures travelers that the windows are positioned for privacy, but let’s be honest—trusting angles at that altitude feels like the aviation equivalent of trusting the “private browsing” feature.

On the bright side, these lavatories might encourage shorter visits. After all, there’s nothing like the vague possibility of a passing drone, bird, or UFO to speed things along. It’s minimalism meets exhibitionism, and let’s just hope the next design trend doesn’t involve live-streaming.
