@Captain Kirk Hinrich, I hate how worried the flight attendant sounds when he/she asks you to turn them off. There like: "IF YOU DON'T TURN THAT OFF YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN????!?!? WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE AND I WILL MAKE SURE OF IT YOU LITTLE F**CKING C**T, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM MATE?!!?!!? I OWN YOU, NOW TURN THAT S**T OFF BEFORE I SLIT YA NECK" So demanding, gosh!

@Captain Kirk Hinrich, They ask you to not use phones on a plane because it can interfere with the navigation system and some other instruments in the cockpit. While there is no definitive evidence on this there have been controlled lab situations where this has happened but it is becoming increasingly less likely with new technologies

@The Silly Band, there have actually been several "discussions" by the FAA about relaxing this requirement lately. Even they are aware that it doesn't do anything. That being said, last flight my wife and I went on, I was "randomly" selected for the extra screening in what I'd call 'the naked room', and our gay male flight attendant with an obvious disdain for women yelled at my wife repeatedly to power off her iPod shuffle. She put it to sleep and he was angry as hell. There was no power. *In accordance with the rules of the internet - sorry for the long post.*

@Captain Kirk Hinrich, Fun fact: the radio frequency in your phone is not able to communicate on the same frequencies as anything on plane. The only way they can remotely interfere with anything is the negligible and minute amount of electromagnetic radiation that phones - or anything electronic - emit.

I once was in the middle of an intense firefight with another skilled player in Battlefield, And decided to take out my knife and walk out into the open so he would see me. He accepted my challenge and walked out to meet me in the arena. Then, right as we started, his squadmate spawned on him and shot me in the face.
Guys I'm sitting in the plane on my flight to NY for my first year of college! Wish me luck
