It must have been a "slow news" today:

Well, it made me chuckle - what was she thinking?
Sorry - the link doesn't wasnt to post properly - the whole thing should be underlined.
Here's the gist of it anyway:
A jet was forced into an emergency landing after one of its passengers lit matches to mask the smell of her flatulence.
The Dallas-bound American Airlines flight touched down in Nashville, Tennessee, after several people on board reported a burning smell.
All 99 passengers and five crew were taken off the plane and screened.
Their kit and luggage was also examined, and the plane itself was searched.
Under questioning by the FBI, one of the passengers then admitted she had struck matches in an attempt to disguise a "body odour".
She had an unspecified medical condition, authorities said.
The flight took off again, but she was not allowed back on the plane.
The woman, who has not been identified, was not charged over the incident.
