Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Snakes on a plane ... no, really - Air India jet
Just imagine what would happen if the snake would suddenly appear mid-flight.
********************************
Quote:
CREW on an Air India jet discovered a snake coiled under a seat, but were unable to catch it.
The snake was disturbed during a routine check on the Air India A319, which had landed at Delhi after a domestic flight from Srinagar.
The serpent evaded capture by slipping into an air vent and could not be found even when staff unscrewed panels, opened all the doors and fumigated the plane.
"There was commotion, which scared the snake and it went further inside," the Hindustan Times quoted an airport official as saying.
Reports that the snake was a venomous cobra were denied by an airline spokesman.
"There was a snake but not a cobra. We have no details of what kind of a snake it was, or where it is now," he said.
He denied the jet had been grounded or that its flight to Mumbai had been delayed.
The incident echoed the plot of 2006 hit movie Snakes on a Plane.
