  1. I’m going to rain on everyone’s parade here and mention that the black box is so strong because it’s a small box, and aeroplane sized black box would probably break if you dropped it from 33,000 feet. That and it would be too heavy to fly (ooh, I’m such a spoilsport, )

    I want to know how they make Teflon stick to the frying pan.

  2. “it doesnt it is just heavy enough to sit on the pan”

    But what happens when you turn the pan upside town? I’m telling you, they make it stick, even though it’s non stick! What miracles hath science wrought!

  3. About the black box and the airplane…. It doesn’t matter how tough the plane is if it’s going to crash into the ground. You can’t cheat the laws of physics. Remember that safety belts are known for breaking ribs. It’s the sudden stop that hurts, durability of the belt/airplane has nothing to do with it.
