Gibraltar Airport (which is not part of Spain as a lot of readers pointed out) is a very unusual airport. To my knowledge, it is the only one where the runway actually intersects with a major highway. When a plane has to take off or land, traffic is shut down.

Although the words "cute" and "squid" very rarely feel right in the same sentence, the piglet squid is an exception to the rule. Found at a depth of 100 meters, the little squid is four inches long. Very little is known about its natural behavior.
 
Yup. I just got a email about this airport from my father last week. Some thing where one of his friends did a bad photochop of some car still being on the run way as the airplane was taking off.
 
Talk about a major flawed design and security hole.

edit: In 2004 the airport handled 314,375 passengers

no wonder, my airport is way too big to have runways like that.
