London - A passenger in first class woke up to a shock when he found himself sitting near a corpse on a British Airways flight, British newspapers reported on Monday.
Paul Trinder, 54, said cabin crew moved the body of the elderly woman from the economy section where she had died after take-off, the Mirror and Sun tabloids said.
"The corpse was strapped into the seat but because of turbulence it kept slipping down on to the floor," Trinder, a businessman, was quoted as saying. "It was horrific. The body had to be wedged in place with lots of pillows."
The woman's daughter was also upgraded and spent the rest of the nine-hour flight from Delhi to London grieving next to her dead mother, the Sun reported.
The Guardian newspaper said the incident happened last week.
British Airways has apologised for any distress suffered, according to the reports.
The Mirror quoted BA as saying: "We apologise, but our crew were working in difficult circumstances and chose the option they thought would cause least disruption."

Lily Allen's sex revenge
People handle break-ups differently.
Some make their way through a box of Kleenex and ponder where it all went wrong, and some find solace in a bottle or two of wine.
Others, however, get nasty and it seems Lily Allen is of that breed.
You may remember that Lily based her hit song Smile on the break-up with her ex-boyfriend DJ Lester Lloyd.
(The song is about a girl describing her guilty pleasure of seeing her ex-boyfriend upset about her. Their break-up was hard for her, but now that she has got over it and he's crying for her, she feels he's getting what he deserves. And that is making her smile.)
However, when Lloyd decided to do a kiss-and-tell, Lily showed that hell indeed hath no fury like a woman scorned and that it was ultimate payback time.
She told The Sun: "He was my first love, which felt sacred. I wouldn't have been as upset if it was one of the others.
"But, I didn't love reading it in the papers - my grandparents didn't either. He is a spineless bastard."
So, just how did she get her own back?
"I slept with all his friends, actually," she revealed.
Lily is not a woman to be messed with.

Break a leg: say gamblers as Mills take part in dancing contest
Bodog.com is encouraging punters to bet whether Heather Mills' prosthetic leg will fall off during her participation in United States television show Dancing With The Stars. Mills is the estranged wife of Beatle Sir Paul McCartney who lost her leg in a 1993 traffic accident.
The site made a "No" outcome the heavy favourite, and said Mills's leg "must fall off, not be purposely taken off, during a dance routine for all "Yes" wagers to be graded a win."
The fourth season of Dancing With The Stars, in which couples - a star and a professional dancer - compete, is scheduled to begin on March 19 with a line-up of 11 celebrities.
Former model Mills told syndicated US celebrity TV show Extra last week that she wanted to show people that "even with a prosthetic leg you can dance."
"It's very unlikely my leg's going to fly off even though it would be quite funny to knock one of the judges out," Mills told an interviewer.

Man claims to have made love to over 30 cars
Bloody hell...
A British man has confessed to making love to over 30 different cars and setting up a website to explain his techniques to the masses.
It was The Sun which lifted the bonnet on people who love cars - a little too much.
It quoted the story of Chris, apparently a 38-year-old from the West Country, who claims to have made the beast with two boots with everything from a Peugeot 205 to his current squeeze, a Jag XK8. Donald is not afraid of exploring the boundaries of his sexuality. He’s also had brief flings with two motorboats and a jetski.
Not only does he like a bit of quick fit action, he also runs a website devoted to his auto erotic pastime, and claims to be in touch with about 500 other crankshaft fanatics.

Illegal drugs can be harmless, report says
I’m all for a spot of recreational usage, but I’m not sure about this two-year study which states that illegal drugs can be "harmless" and should no longer be "demonised".
The report said Britain's drug laws were "not fit for purpose" and should be torn up in favour of a system which recognised that drinking and smoking could cause more harm.
The RSA Commission on Illegal Drugs ,set up in January 2005, also called for the main focus of drugs education to be shifted from secondary to primary schools and recommended the introduction of so-called "shooting galleries" - rooms where users can inject drugs.

O.J. Simpson says he could be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby
Blimey….If there were ever any doubt that this man is seriously delusional…. Hasn’t he learnt yet to just keep his mouth shut?
O.J. Simpson has allegedly claimed he could be the father of the late Anna Nicole Smith's baby, Dannielynn.
The pair starred together in 'Naked Gun 331/3: The Final Insult' in 1994 and O.J. allegedly told documentary maker Norm Pardo - who filmed 70 hours of footage with him from 2000 to 2005 - that he was "throwing his hat into the ring" regarding the paternity battle.
Pardo told the New York Post newspaper: "He said he knew Anna Nicole pretty well, and he said he had slow-moving sperm, and he might be the father."
O.J. - who was cleared of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her lover Ron Goldman - even joked he hoped the baby wasn't his as Fred Goldman - Ron's father who has pursued O.J. for damages in the civil court over his son's murder - might try to take her.
Pardo claims O.J. said: "I hope they don't do a DNA test on Anna Nicole's baby. If they find out Dannielynn is mine, I don't want Fred Goldman trying to seize her money - or the baby herself."
The five-month-old daughter of Anna Nicole - who was buried in the Bahamas on Friday (02.03.07) - is currently in the custody of the courts as both Howard K. Stern and photographer Larry Birkhead claim to be her biological father.

Looking a bit run down? Get nipple tint for a ‘sexy flush’
This might be the nuttiest re-purposing of one beauty product since the use of Preparation H on puffy eyes.
There's a scary New York Magazine Intelligencer piece on how Benefit's Benetint is being marketed as a nipple tint. Yes, a "kiss-proof and water-resistant" nipple tint, apparently what every woman wants.
While Benetint says the product was originally meant for lips and cheeks giving women a "sexy flush," it seems that nipples need make-up, too. No word on whether you need to apply lip liner before or lip gloss after.
Benefit's spokeswoman the history of "ripe, rosy" nipples being standards of beauty even encourages that undercover nipples get Benetint. We're not going to argue with the pros of ripe, rosy nipples, especially if you're at the beach, but the real question is: How gross are your bras going to be after you wear it?

"Naked Sunday" at gym, anyone?
Reading this made me skin crawl…
Who on god’s green earth would want to go to gym naked? The thought of all those sweaty bums and dangly bits…
The only workout I can imagine doing naked is the horizontal one, and then you’re supposed to be naked and sweaty!
The first clothing-free workout session at a Dutch gym went ahead as planned on Sunday -- and participants and observers said it met expectations.
Around a dozen middle-aged and elderly men braved the glare of nearly twice that number of journalists at Fitworld gym in the town of Heteren, including reporters, photographers and at least five television crews, to fulfill their dream of exercising naked.
Patrick de Man, owner of Fitworld, said he got the idea in part from two of his regular customers who asked why he had separate dressing rooms for men and women.
"That was the spark," he said, and he ultimately decided to open the gym on Sundays for nudists. The response was overwhelming -- both positive and negative. Some clients were worried about whether it would be sanitary.
De Man decided to open the inaugural session to the press after receiving inquiries from as far away as Russia and Australia.
No women nudists attended, though De Man said eight had signed up, out of nearly 100 applicants overall. The cost is $13 per session, sold in blocks of 10.
Nude exercisers were required to put towels down on weight machines and to use disposable seat covers while riding bikes. In addition, the machines were to be cleaned three times before they would be used again by the gym's regular clientele.
A team of sanitisers from the Swisher company was on hand to explain the full procedure.
Nudists were expected to spray machines with a cleanser and wipe them dry, then repeat that procedure with a disinfectant.
The disinfectant was "strong enough to kill any bug or germ, including Aids," said Sjaak van Huet.
All the machines and the whole building were to be cleaned again by the sanitisers at the end of the day.

Geek Alert: Watch movies from your wrist!
First we watched movies in the theater, then on televisions, then on portable DVD players, then on iPods, and now on cell phones and even watches!
With 2GB of storage, this home theater watch should be the perfect size to download one of your favorite movies.
That’s if you’ve got the balls to look like an idiot sitting on the tube, staring at your watch. And what about the sore wrist you’re likely to get from keeping your hand twisted in a “what’s the time” position for 90 minutes?
