@oopsmyeye: Had he been going 88mph, he would have found himself in 1955.

@Geisrud: Subway train cars are electric powered. They have two normal rails to guide the wheels, and a third high voltage electric rail to transfer power to the train. Touching the third rail is not a good idea.

"...taking advantage of air-temperature differences to move it around."

@jasonkenny: I'm pretty sure that's the Milky Way.

@Obsidian: Oh yeah, also this one... there are a whole series of these, very cute.
