If you’re a nervous flier you might not want to click through to 35 Secrets Your Pilot Won’t Tell You. Highlights include:

“There’s no such thing as a water landing. It’s called crashing into the ocean.” – Pilot, South Carolina

“We don’t make you stow your laptop because we’re worried about electronic interference. It’s about having a projectile on your lap. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to get hit in the head by a MacBook going 200 miles per hour.” – Patrick Smith

“There is no safest place to sit. In one accident, the people in the back are dead; in the next, it’s the people up front.” – John Nance

This sculpture, located on the border between the U.S and Canada near Vancouver, was created by Lead Pencil Studio.

Titled Non-Sign II, the piece was commissioned by the U.S. government. The artists behind it are Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo, who’ve won numerous awards for their work over the last decade. The pair carefully twisted metal to give the appearance of a ghost of one of the billboards that populate the area.

Han and Mihalyo told The Stranger that they hope the sculpture will add a bit of awareness to the signage landscape in the border zone, as it flies past the inhabitants of passing cars.
