True. As a pilot I can say that supplemental oxygen is only required above 10,000ft by law and by not pressurizing to sea level, this saves wear and tear on the airframe. I believe they pressurize the cabin to a maximum equivalent of 8000ft so if you live in Mexico City you will already be accustomed to it. For myself, it just seems to make me sleepy, hungry and thirsty. :p

okay, this is what I think: The coke guitar was made less for smuggling purposes than for a high-end user. Think how awesome that would be laid out at a party.

Uh, that would be a criminal type party. With gangsters and rock stars and stuff. I go to 'em all the time..

Okay, that's an awful lot of coke for a party, but I've seen pictures of drugs made into birds and other objects for fancy users.

AND . . . the beach shot? -- fish spunk.

Man the art of hiding drugs in things is lost today. They should have done what the American Gangster did and hide drugs in the coffins of the Afghan war dead.

Art? The kid of Andy Reid - NFL Philadelphia Eagles' head coach - pushed 89 pills up his anus so as to have sufficient drugs while in prison. The drugs were later found in his cell during an inspection. Where is the art in hiding drugs? Is the art in cleaning drugs before swallowing them?

BTW, back in jail are both Reid boys who are from the same town where another kid tried to Columbine the local high school. Is this an artsy town?

Aero geek is correct. Commercial jetliners are pressurised to 8000 feet, and while this rarely causes problems with the usual carry-on things such as toothpaste and potato chip bags, it CAN cause certain things to burst. Over pressurised cans, home canning, and butane lighters for example.

That is truly an unusual interest. You'll fit right in here. Welcome.
