Patent for faster than light antenna
This patent claims to transmit RF signals faster than light and those RF signals increase the growth of plants. Very interesting if real.

FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new type of antenna for transmission and reception of RF signals. The present invention can be used to replace conventional antennas. It is believed that this invention can transmit energy at a faster speed and over a greater distance than conventional antennas with the same power.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
All known radio transmissions use known models of time and space dimensions for sending the RF signal.
The present invention has discovered the apparent existence of a new dimension capable of acting as a medium for RE signals. Initial benefits of penetrating this new dimension include sending RF signals faster than the speed of light, extending the effective distance of RF transmitters at 2s the same power radiated, penetrating known RF shielding devices, and accelerating plant growth exposed to the by-product energy of the RF transmissions.
If this actually works it would turn a lot of current technology and economics on it’s head. From a quick read of the patent it sounds rather inexpensive to produce. It was issued in 2000 but 11 years later it still doesn’t seem to be commercialized. That of itself is not surprising. Many inventors fail to develop their world changing inventions simply because they can’t explain the business case to others.

Ladyboy flight attendants in Thailand
Thai airline, PC Air, hired 3 ladyboys as flight attendants. Apart from the sexual politics, this makes a lot of sense. There are regulations for the minimum height of an flight attendant. They must be able to put bag in the over head bins and perform other physical tasks. It is also advantageous for flight attendants to be thin because it helps them move around on the plane. Unfortunately many Asian women are not tall enough to be flight attendants. Hiring ladyboys is an innovative approach to meet the requirements. Combine that with the outgoing personality and attention to appearance of a person who go so far as to change their gender and hiring katoey for flight attendants makes a lot of sense.
