Garuda, in association with Boeing have made a new range of 737's the first of which is to be used as a secret trail between Perth and Denpasar. Its revolutionary engines are in part powered by the raw energy that the enthusiasm of the passengers emits and diverted to the power units of the engines.
The first one departs this morning at 9:00 from Perth. It has been discovered that regular forumites have so much untapped energy the plane actually takes one our less on the outward leg of trip, no doubt aided by the empty cargo hold. That means the plane leaves Perth one hour later than normal (now 9:00) but manages to arrive in Denpasar at the old scheduled time of 11:30
On the return trip however there is less enthusiasm about returning so energy levels are reduced. When combined with the full cargo hold (containing all the goodies we have spent our hard earned money on) not so much energy is made available for the engines. As a result the trip takes an extra hour.
Simple.
The fact that this new plane operates during the same time as Western Australia is trailing day light saving is purely coincidental. Trust me.
Now that you've trusted me, anyone want to buy a used car????
