Ferbies need to have their batteries removed to be turned off, and to do this you need a screwdriver, which cannot be taken on board, thus Ferbie cannot fly.

I believe they do have wireless transmitters built in so the furbys can "talk" to each other. I think that was added with the furby craze.

Is it a hoax that someone stuck there or has Qantas got a GSOH ? As you like signage you might want to look at this video of funny hotel signs I found. http://hoteljungle.co.uk/2008/04/funny-hotel-signs.html Seems a bit "fake" though, what do you reckon ?

To this day it still cracks me up. I actually took the same picture 4 years ago when I was in Australia on a flight from Sydney and Cairns. To this day it still cracks me up.
