Slovenia's state-run news agency reported on the death of 
'passionate' fisherman Franc Filipic, 47, who drowned after 
hooking a huge lake sheatfish (like a catfish) and refusing to let 
go as he waded in and was pulled under. Friends reported his 
last words were 'NOW I've got him!'  Divers found his body after 
a two-day search.

I was on a Reno Air flight from San Jose to Las Vegas and the 
plane was taxiing to take off. The flight attendant came on the 
intercom and said, "For those of you currently reading our in-
flight magazine, please place it back in the seat pocket in front 
of you, as it is for IN-FLIGHT only." Later on, once we were 
airborne, he came back and said, "If you're sitting on the right 
side of the plane, look out the window and you will see big, 
white, fluffy clouds. If you're on the left side of the plane, you'll 
see ... big, white, fluffy clouds. Directly beneath you is...your 
luggage."

Once we landed, he told us to remain seated with our seatbelts 
fastened until we were fully stopped at the gate. Just as we 
were about to reach the gate, he said, "Don't even think about 
it!" He also said, "We have a man onboard who is celebrating 
his 100th birthday and this is his first flight! It is also probably 
his last flight." ('Boo's' from the passengers.) "So please, when 
you walk by the cockpit , wish the pilot a happy birthday."

When just about everyone had boarded the plane, the flight 
attendant made a brief announcement. She said,"to the 
gentleman in seat 18F don't worry about your bag, you will get 
it back just as soon as we are done going through it."
