I've seen this one in a university chemistry research lab- yes, those bottles are lab reagents, and it also sells consumables like gloves, NMR tubes and syringes. It records the sales to be taken from a research group's budget, the same as manned lab stores do in other departments.

With a name like "Comesatnight", and being in Montana, I'd guess he's not white. Just saying...

In the UK Korean companies in general have been above the Malaysian manufacturers (Proton and Perodua) since the Malaysians started exporting cars to Europe.

+1 for the Trufflehunter from Zuffenhausen (now say that 10 times fast).

Maybe it's strange in Russia- if you do that in America, you're a Presidential candidate. Nice old Volga, by the way...

A big heap of dirt. If you have a driveway, you could probably make one in it.

Or compare the NFL with rugby- I've never heard of rugby players ending up with brain injuries like NFL players do.

The Citroen C3 Pluriel was terrible at being a convertible. It wasn't properly open-topped unless you removed the roof bars, but there was nowhere to put them in the car so if you got caught in the rain you were screwed.

Fortunately they have these handy instructions on the mounting points:

Slugs are just homeless snails...

OK, it's 12 years old now, but the Laerdal Tunnel in Norway deserves a mention. At 24 km (15.2 miles), it's the longest road tunnel in the world. There are 3 of these big blue-lit caves in the tunnel at 6 km intervals to help prevent claustrophobia and keep drivers awake.
