Several startling details relating to the recent LaMia Flight 2933 crash.

LaMia, short for  Línea Aérea Mérida Internacional de Aviación, was a small business (only 8 employees) that started flying in January of this year. It leased three aircraft, but only ever flew one. Why am I speaking in past tense? The airline has apparently already folded, having had it's operating certificate revoked now that it came to light that the company operated illegally under Bolivian law and definitely was not following international standards for Aviation. It also doesn't really have a means of turning money now that the only airworthy aircraft in their fleet is lying in pieces on the side of a mountain.

It's pretty certain that the plane ran out of fuel and it probably did not meet the industry standard of having 40 minutes of reserve fuel upon reaching the destination airport's airspace. From what I've also read, the plane's flight path was actually more than the official range of the aircraft, which takes into account for reserves. Basically that plane shouldn't have been flying that route because it couldn't legally carry enough fuel to make it safely.

That there is such a thing as a Fourth Degree burn.

The medical definition is a little long winded, but basically it's when the skin is completely burnt away and damage extends to muscle and even bone. Surprisingly, a fourth degree burn is painless because the ends of the nerves have been completely burned away.

Soooo...kind of like (spoilers for Telltales Batman) [spoiltext]what can happen to Harvey Dent if you don't save him at the end of episode 2?[/spoiltext]

Also, I learned today that DOTA 2 is developed and published by Valve.

I learned that a composer I like just got back from two years of traveling a few days ago and says he's going to be making more music soon

There's a genus of pterosaurs named after the Pokémon Aerodactyl, Aerodactylus. It only has one known species, though.

reminds me of the sonic gene found in hedgehogs, or the pikachurin protein found in mice with electric properties.

If you search "Suicune" on Google, a sidebar of Chikorita pops up. For whatever reason. :U

In Pokémon Colosseum, after beating Dakim at Mount Battle but before beating Evice, you can go back to Miror B's room in Pyrite Cave and fight an optional boss named Mirakle B. He is a Cipher Peon with his uniform recolored to look like Miror B's clothes and afro. His battle theme is a sped-up, off-key version of Miror B's Retro Groove. Before and after battle he talks about wanting to grow an afro just like Miror B's.
