This just in from the front lines of the War on the Unusual:
University of Pennsylvania economics professor Guido Menzio was solving a set of differential equations on a plane departing the Philadelphia airport when the woman next to him surreptitiously passed a note to a flight attendant telling them she thought he was a terrorist because of the strange things he was writing on a pad of paper. The plane returned to the gate where he was questioned. At least this time the pilot had enough sense not to kick him off the flight.
Remember folks, if you see something say something!

he might turn the engines into vulture wings
What sauce should I use? Would incorporating rice wine or just plain vinegar be appropriate? As far as the scoville rating, should I restrain myself to the realm of the jalapeño pepper, or should I create a nuclear-class sauce?
These vulture wings are gonna be delicious when I get done with them!
Everyone knows that you need roc wings to lift an aircraft.
Even better! I'll prepare my best sauce for the occasion! Just add some molasses here, some serano peppers there, and ah! There we have it. Just needs a little butter to help it stick to the wings. Cook at 375°F for 35 minutes, turning once.
