In 1875, Narcisse Huret of Paris invented a tricycle powered by dogs on treadmills. Looks... Um... Yummy!? French insect breeding company Micronutris produces cookies made from powdered crickets and mealworms. The first airplane flight attendants, introduced by Boeing Air Transport in 1930, had to be single nurses, under 25 years of age, less than 5 feet 4 inches tall, and under 115 LBS.

I suppose the nurses fact is because the size of the planes and the help they could bring in case of an emergency.

I’m more worried about the appending of ist to anything you don’t agree with. America was still a free country in the 1930’s.

I’m sure that tricycle seemed like a good idea until a squirrel or cat was spotted by the “motors”.

You are “concerned” about what the rules were in 1930? Well I am “worried” about your sanity, please join us in the real world.

Most of the time I have nothing against the French except their government policies, BUT what is it with slimy things becoming food?

If the stewardesses were taller than 5’4", they couldn’t fit into the treadmills that powered the plane. The cricket cookies kept them trim.
