It's a religeous world we live in



I have been doing a canoe guide course with Queensland Canoeing.  There are some people with kayaks.  On the weekend we went out for the practical and the instructor was explaining the equipment.
When you tip over in your kayak, you pull on this strap to rip the black cover called a skirt off the kayak. It is called the "Jesus strap".



And it appears that Helicopters have a "Jesus Nut" and it's not the guy behind the wheel.  I have been learning to fly a schweizer 300 and yesterday I was shown how to do a "daily inspection".  The pointy thing in the middle of the rotors right on top is a nut that holds the whole thing together.  The instructor explained this was called the "Jesus Nut".
It is nice to know these people know in whom to put their faith

  1. ...and the reason the helicopter fastener is called a "Jesus Nut" is because if it fails, guess who you will be meeting very soon?
