22st is for 22 stone, the old British unit for weight (Daily Mail being a UK based paper). A stone is around 14 lbs, so 22 stone is around 300 lbs.. Mr Maxwell wasn’t a small man.

You are correct about the fries. In 1991, McDonalds stopped frying their fries in beef tallow. They stopped doing it to cowtow to the health nazis, and those health nazis have been proven wrong since about beef fat and heart disease.
They tasted amazing when fried in beef tallow. Even Julia Child was angry about the change in the recipe in 1991. She loved McDonald’s fries.
You're comparing drones flying in war zones meant to hunt down and kill people, versus flying drones in United States cities, suburbs, and small towns/rural areas to deliver packages? O.k.
First problem with these drones is air rights. Currently the FAA requires aircraft to remain 1000 feet above ground over densely populated areas. To deliver packages with drones, you are going to have to fly much closer to the ground, and go over several peoples' properties. And I hate to sound like some hothead, but if one of those comes over my property, a shotgun or baseball bat will be used to remedy the intrusion on my property.
Someone delivering a package from the USPS/UPS/FedEx is not considered a trespasser when walking on sidewalks of neighbors to get to the delivery address. However, someone violating air rights with a drone will be trespassing on your property, and you have the right to take action deemed necessary to protect your property.
I’m glad someone mention Des Moines’ airport as being bad for holiday travel. Their airport was built before Eddie Rickenbacker and the Red Baron were flying.
