Funny, but not true. The shuttle weighs 165000 lbs when empty and no boosters.
A 747 carries 416-500 passengers+crew, even if there are only 400 pass, and average it to 175lb per person (females are much less, many men are much more) you already get 70000lbs, then add on all the baggage and carry-ons and the seats and entertainment equip and you are already over 165000lbs.
This is in addition to the fact that the overweight fee is because the unionized baggage workers were getting their backs hurt shlepping 70lb bags. This picture should of said "I call BS on the Baggage Fees"
I know this is a joke, but how can one joke on Erev Yom Kippur?
