Not sure if this has been answered yet but whatever:
I'm assuming they want to show a company (most likely a sponsor) that they're making money so they'll have them donate to breast cancer. Or, the lids are actually compacted enough so that the breast cancer fund company can just sell the metal amassed from the (aluminum?) lids. This is completely a guess, by the way.
Allergies are caused by an environmental antigen known as allergen. This is, of course, a hyperactive response to a spore. As part of the human body's defense systems, they have a requirement to reject anything other than self. Thus, the IgE antibody of our immune system binds to the epipotes of this particular allergen and signals the body to destroy it. When the spore covering is penetrated, histamines are released into our systems.
Histamines, as you may have known, causes a large dilation and higher diffusion of gases into the blood system in our blood vessels, so we start to tear up and have swollen, red eyes, which naturally causes us to itch at it. That's why we see labels like "anti-histamine" on commercial pharmaceutical allergy medication bottles (Zyrtec).
If you are deathly at risk for an allergy, I believe it's because your blood vessels dilates so fast with a lack of those certain anti histamines and your pressure just drops, sending you into shock and at need for epinephrine. That's my cursory knowledge and my best understanding. I'm no doctor.

Most of the time when you delete stuff from the recycle bin (or trash on macs) that information on the drive gets zero'ed out, which basically means "Info's still "there" (but not accessible) until its get written over with new data. This is how data recovery software works too, it just bypasses the "zero'ed" out phase & gets the files from formatted drives, CF cards, memory sticks whatever.Originally Posted by bjm5295

Why do we have to have our seatback right and table tray up while the plane is taking off and landing?
To prevent possible accidents from happening (like hitting the table tray and seat back) since landing might get rough at times? And that people can get into the brace position for emergency landings?
Nice to learn something new with this thread.Keep it up NT... this is actually getting educational.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and hope that you sir are also blind, hence why you did not understand the blatant meaning of the question.
