News and notes from around the internet:

Whippets are mostly illegal, yet points can still be earned and redeemed for them. Loyalty programs have become ubiquitous. This trend became apparent a decade ago when a blood bank devalued its loyalty program, and it further manifested when a marijuana and munchies delivery service offered rewards, including a free eighth for participating in their refer-a-friend program.

Credit scores have now entered the dating scene. While FICO scores aren't all-encompassing, they do provide useful information about individuals.

Israel has reportedly neutralized the individual responsible for the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in 1985 and the U.S. Marine barracks bombing in Beirut three years earlier.

A business class passenger on a United Airlines flight from Seoul to San Francisco reported waking up hungry and asking for food. They were reluctantly offered a grilled cheese sandwich and some soup with an estimated preparation time of six minutes. However, 25 minutes later, only the sandwich was served without the soup.

Lufthansa is employing artificial sharkskin technology to streamline its airplanes.
