“No Idiots Pickin’ Politicians…The ‘Shatner Seat’ ….& The Japanese Brazilian Section’”

Idiots- Up until 2016, New Mexico had a law that banned “idiots” from voting.  The law was from 1910, when the word “idiot” described a person with an IQ below 30.

Shatner Seat- Have you ever noticed a small black triangle on the wall in the middle of an airplane cabin? That marks the “William Shatner seat,” which dates back to a classic “Twilight Zone” episode called “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.” In the episode, Shatner’s character sees a monster on the wing, trying to wreck the plane.  In reality, the triangle signifies the seat with a perfect view of the wing.  Crew members use this marker to inspect the wing during flight, to monitor the slats, or to check to see if the wings are icing up.

Japanese- The largest Japanese population outside of Japan is in Brazil.  There are at least 2 million Japanese people in Brazil . . . the first Japanese people moved there in the early 1900s for work and future generations have stayed.
