When I was bartending in SC we had to serve from airplane bottles.  No alcohol could be poured out of a fifth.  And it really screwed up drink recipes because the law said you had to use all the contents of the bottle so everything that had multiple liquors (like Long Island Iced Tea) was never quite right.  Before we moved they started allowing either free pour or metered guns like ones sodas came out of.

The reason for the change was that more companies were having meetings and conventions in the state and due to the little bottles, drinks were stronger than people were used to.  People were getting shit-faced on a couple drinks because they were getting a lot more liquor per drink.

Holy shit, a Long Island made from airline bottles would be insane. That's like a half pint of booze.

When Tupac was in jail, Jim Carrey used to write him funny letters. Jim was Tupac’s favorite actor.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The 2015 James Bond film SPECTRE opening scene is set in and around a Dia de Meurtos (Day of he Dead) parade in Mexico City. Featuring the parade in the film sparked a boom in tourist interest in visiting Mexico City for the big parade.

There was a bit of a hitch - there was no Dia de Meurtos parade in Mexico City - so the city government created one, which has become a popular tourist draw.

And the church thinks they are one of the 7 capital/cardinal/deadly sins.
