Air New Zealand's Matchmaking Flight Hits The Lonely Skies Tomorrow
That Air New Zealand Matchmaking flight we've been telling you about is finally taking off tomorrow. The LAX to Auckland event aims to bring together singles for a raucous itinerary of love connecting (or, failing that, sex). There will be a shindig at the gate in Los Angeles, with party packs and an open bar, followed by some in-flight activities. There are more parties after the flight lands, with the whole thing emceed by Jason Mesnick and girlfriend Molly Malaney of The Bachelor fame.
Yeah, listen. The flight from Los Angeles to Auckland is over 6,500 miles long and takes about 13 hours once you factor in takeoff and landing. Romeo and Juliet would get sick of each other about 8 hours into the trip. Romeo, Juliet, and all their best friends would all get grumpy after about 10 hours. That's just too much time in an airplane to feel good about your life, let alone the existence of another human being.

French Discourage Kissing In Order To Curb Swine Flu Spread
We were going to use a photo of people kissing cheeks, but come on; kitties!
Just when we were coming around to the idea of being rude by not returning handshakes and thereby steering clear of Swine Flu, the French had to go and ruin all our fun. You see, they've reminded us that the traditional double-cheek-kiss—called la bise—is also pretty unsanitary if you don't want to catch the H1N1 virus, especially if you're greeting someone who has just traveled and may be exposed.
We can't shake hands and we can't cheek-kiss; what will we will do? Thank heavens there's still the good old rump-pat, and the "hey-yo" wave. We do feel badly for the Frenchies though:
In schools, teachers are telling their young charges to forgo the bise, and instead capture their displays of affection in heart-shaped greetings to slip into 'bise boxes.' It is restraint that is easier to sell to young students than their older brothers and sisters. Some things, however, are finding an accepting audience: masks—which do a pretty good job of discouraging just about any sort of kissing.

How Taking A Vacation Can Save Your Marriage...In India
Divorce travel has, somewhat ironically, arrived in India. Ironically, because about one in one hundred marriages fail in India, compared to about half of marriages in the United States. Just the same, KV Tours and Travels have started offering packages designed to stop their customers from getting divorced.
Targeting near-break-up couples whose families are worried about the relationship—to the point where the family members might pay for the couple's vacation—KV Tours also arranges a qualified marriage counselor to accompany the couple on the trip. We hope they've figured out that three can be a crowd, though.
