This is the second retractable roof building that's been used for a hockey game, not the first.

Backup cameras are increasingly popular options on new cars, and there's a good chance they'll be standard equipment for safety reasons in a few years. So why are we still using a piece of glass to see behind us most of the time?

It's this lack of attention to detail that makes this a crack pipe. Why didn't they shave the liftgate handle and fill the seams? It isn't, or shouldn't be, a functional door.

"I asked if she ever hand to manicure a hand that was missing fingers."

Well, no; we're not re-fighting WWII.

Uncle Sam has always been depicted as buff. There's a lot of WWII posters with him getting his guns out, it's a common theme:

Mac Only: Swimming in a pool inside a high rise building will no longer cause a Sim's plumbob to become invisible.
