Use the bathroom before boarding

It is desireable to land an aircraft with as little weight onboard as possible - that is as close to zero fuel as possible with a comfortable but not excessive emergency reserve.

The hold baggage is weighed.

Cargo is weighed.

Each passenger is averaged out at a certain weight - 80 kg? because it would raise sensitivity issues if the airline weighed their travellers. Though being ranty some people are increasingly taking the piss with their carry on. I mean NFBSK me a suitcase is not carry on. Really! You've saved a couple of quid - congratulations - but a different rant for a different day. Anyway, self loading baggage isn't weighed.

And all that goes into the fuel equation. X kilogrammes of cargo plus Y kilogrammes of passenger baggage plus the averaging of the total weight of Y passengers, times the flight distance, divided by the aircrafts fuel economy plus a bit in case we have to circle the airport a few times, or diverte to our alternate - that's how much fuel we want. The pilots don't want to run out of fuel, but the pilots don't want to land heavy.

However I can't imagine that the human waste in the passengers combined makes a jot of difference in that equation which is part pure numbers, and part pure guesswork.

I've no idea what an average turd weighs - let's assume half a kilogramme which I think would be on the generous side, So 300 passengers = 150 kilogrammes of feaces that could have been lost at the airport. Okay, 150 Kg of fuel gets a jetliner how far? How much of a saving is 150 kg of self loading cargo?

Men’s Underwear as an Economic Indicator

While it's a very interesting read, I'm not sure that I would agree with the underwear portion. In the times of WWII, that made sense, since during the recession around then no one wanted to spend money on extra clothes, you wore them until they were irreparable.

Here's my theater geek moment:

My reasoning behind this (since I didn't live back then) is that my college is putting on Brighton Beach Memoirs right now, and the costume designer did the research to back that up. For example - the mother is darning Eugine's socks, which you would very rarely see someone doing today.

In addition to the many others out there, I am still going to go out and replace my underwear and socks about once a year, and the recession hasn't had an impact on that.
