While FAA identifiers for airports aren’t technically acronyms, the three-letter codes can give rise to their own headaches. Just ask the Sioux City Gateway Airport, which the FAA saddled with the unfortunate designator “SUX.” Airport authorities petitioned for a new code, and the FAA – and this is not a joke – offered them “GAY” as a nod to the “Gateway” part of the airport’s name.

Credit Check

I invented a new game at dinner the other night. I call it “Credit Check.”

It’s very easy to play. When you and your party sit down, look at the group next to you and try to guess as many things as you can about them — where they’re from, what they do, etc.

Then, when they leave, look at the names on their credit card receipts. Google them and see who came the closest.

Bonus creep points for instantly friending them on Facebook with the message “so good to see you at dinner!”

The day after US Air Flight 1549 landed safely in the Hudson, so many people played the number 1549 in the lottery that some states shut their lotteries down out of fear that if the number hit, they would lose millions.

The New York Pick 4 number that day turned out to be 1548.
