Old but I just found it.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->(Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.

Nepal Airlines, which has two Boeing aircraft, has had to suspend some services in recent weeks due the problem.

The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.

"The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights," said Raju K.C., a senior airline official, without explaining what the problem had been.

Local media last week blamed the company's woes on an electrical fault. The carrier runs international flights to five cities in Asia.

It is common in Nepal to sacrifice animals like goats and buffaloes to appease different Hindu deities.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Well, since it has been proven to work, I endorse this practice.

    The other day some of my friends sacrificed and consumed a turkey in honor of the god T'hanks Gi Ving or something. That seemed to go over pretty well.

    I always make sure to apply the sacred anti-static vestments and aqueous cleaning fluids before I work on my computer.

    Also re-draw the pentagram and make sure the goat skull is firmly secured.

    Any field technician's toolkit will include at least a set of screwdrivers, an earthing strap, tweezers, multimeter, canned air, parts tube, and a rubber waving chicken. They pack down smaller and the kits need to be refreshed far less often that way than with live chickens, and the resolve rate is only a few points lower.

    Well any aircraft technician would also need at least a liter of prop wash and 3 meters of flight line.

    As well as extra air canisters for the air brakes.

    Keep reading more, eventually you will find the intellectual quantum. Then you will split it, then massive amounts of intelligence will be released and the world will be thrust into a new age of enlightenment.

    Which will be really cool and therefore an entirely acceptable outcome.
